Tsukuba Science City

After Japan's decision to establish a scientific center in the country in 1960, begins the construction of the city of Tsukuba. An interesting fact is that scientists have adopted the Japanese experience, which has been used in Russia in the construction of Akademgorodok in Siberia.

The town was very cozy and beautiful, located just 60 kilometers from the Japanese capital. There are excellent road and straight streets, as well as many beautiful modern buildings. Also in Tsukuba lots of greenery.

City is designed very simple and convenient. In the center are the residential part and Consumer Services. There, like a lighthouse, stands lookout tower, the construction of which is rather unusual. On the high bar, built of massive cubes of concrete, fixed square frame within which can be very difficult to consider the people in the form of small dots. Around the tower split large park and dug a beautiful artificial pond with colorful carps and institutes and research centers are located around the perimeter of the landscaped campus.

Spectrum of the investigated problems in Tsukuba Space is quite extensive, as it develops new designs robots studied seismic various structures involved in genetic engineering, chemistry and physics, sociology, and even plant breeding. Therefore, in many academic institutions. We call some of them.

Start, perhaps, with the best of Mechanics and Engineering Laboratory, which is one of the most significant laboratory among research institutions in Japan. It is there that are designed almost everything from utilization of new energy sources to create new technology. For example, being developed schemes and principles, which will later be used in computers. In the laboratory at the time was such a unique product designed as a dog-robot, designed for people who have lost eyesight. This intelligent machine not only avoids obstacles, but also warns of the dangers of blind owner.

Agricultural Institute, which is now in Tsukuba, more than a hundred years. It is equipped with the latest technology, including, of course, includes the most advanced robots and computers. However, the problem faced by scientists and research facility are as old as our imperfect world. Institute deals with the problems of agriculture, which, despite the fact that Japan is a very favorable climate and fertile land, as well as the skillful hands of the peasants remains the Achilles heel of the economy.
