Japan has a very different approach to robotics. Japan leads the world in industrial robots, but there is also a growing movement that is reinventing the way we share our world with machines. Kaname Hayashi was one of the creators of Softbank's Pepper robot. His latest startup, GrooveX, has raised over $100 million to develop the Lovot; a companion robot, or perhaps more accurately, a robot pet unlike any other. We talk about the Lovot itself, of course, but we also cover GrooveX's unique business model and talk about the very different ways that people of different sexes, ages, and nationalities interact with the Lovot. It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it. Show Notes Why the Lovot is as much a pet as a dog or cat Data that proves how our interaction with robots is changing Why the Lovot's form factor is so important Why GrooveX invested so much in getting the Lovot's eyes right How the Lovot makes friends The Lovot's business model. Will this scale? The biggest surprise from the Lovot Cafe Why Western men don't love the Lovot Japan's anxiety trap and how to fix it Links from the Founder Everything you ever wanted to know about the GrooveX Follow Kaname on Twitter @HayashiKaname Friend him on Facebook See the Lovot in action The Lovot on Instagram - this is way too cute The Evocative Machines Project Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan's most successful entrepreneurs. I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. I've never really fully embraced the Japanese concept of cute or kawaii. I mean, it's fine and all, all the mascots and characters are nice but it gets a bit odd sometimes.  For example, my bankbook is covered with pictures of Mickey Mouse and Goofy which are images Western financial institutions would probably not want to be associated with their product but hey, it works in Japan but there's actually something deeply fascinating and important underlying the idea of kawaii.  Today, we sit down with Kaname Hayashi who was formerly part of SoftBank's Pepper Project and then went out on his own to start Groove X and create the Lovot. Now, the Lovot is a companion robot or a pet robot and we talk about the robot itself, of course and please check out the links on the site for pictures and videos. It's very cute and you really have to see the Lovot in action to appreciate it but more important than the robot itself is how people are interacting with it.  Now, we've talked about social robots on disrupting Japan before but people are interacting with the Lovot differently and far more socially than anything that's come before it. It's the first robot I've seen that not only could be fully accepted as a pet but is being fully accepted as a pet. Kaname and I also dive into the business model. Groove X has raised a lot of investment and as you'll hear during the interview, this is a startup that could go either way, it could fizzle out into nothing or it could change global society. In fact, in post-production, when I was editing down the interview, I kept thinking of more and deeper questions I wanted to ask Kaname, so we'll have to get him back on the show in the future but for now, you're about to hear a story about the difference in the way children and adults and Westerners interact with robots, the intersection of toxic masculinity and robotics and why science fiction usually gets human-robot interaction all wrong but Kaname tells that story much better than I can. So, let's get right to the interview.  Interview Tim: So, I'm sitting here with Kaname Hayashi of Groove X, the maker of Lovot, so thanks for sitting down with me today.  Kaname: Thank you very much.  Tim: So, Lovot is a cute and I mean really, really cute companion robot but you can probably describe it much better than I can. So, what is Lovot? Kaname: Yeah, good question. Lovot takes a role as a pet.

It's like Super Smash Brothers, except it's totally not Super Smash Brothers. Also, I want you to decide on the character roster. Ask your friend Kyle to colllaborate with you on this." And then he drops a smoke bomb and vanishes into the night. So, which SEGA characters will be duking it out on the fields of honour, and who will fail to make the cut? Renard I was rereading Mega Man #53 recently and came to the grim realization that at some point before Mega Man 7, every Robot Master from Mega Man 1 would likely be decommissioned. This made me wonder...just when and how were you going to play this out? How would it affect Rock and company, do the Robot Masters just accept this without question, and how was it going to hit Rock when he witnessed Wily making off with Guts Man's deactivated body, fighting it as Guts Man G, and then probably destroying one of his longest lasting family members for good? I truly adore the way you handled the existentialism in the Mega Man comic, I feel you perfectly managed to make the series a little bit more than "blue robot kid fights old man, old man apologizes, repeat" without making it feel like it forced in any way. Diane W. On a previous BumbleKast, you stated that Knuckles wouldn't be allowed to use his Archie exclusive powers and abilities in IDW because… well, it's his Archie counterpart's abilities. Can he still use his other abilities such as Massive Heat Knuckles Attack, and Thunder Arrow, and his Level Up items like his Shovel Claw, and his Hammer Gloves, in IDW? ScurvyPiratehog (KoFi) This year not only marks Sonic's 30th but also the 30th anniversary of Dr Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik! Could you maybe just gush about him a little? How he's evolved how He's the best Sonic villain, the perfect arch-enemy for Sonic, and...just celebrate The mad genius we love to hate! Speed Weed So, now I got something to ask about Mega Man, given a question that was asked a while back about the connection between Ra Moon and the Star Droids: How do you feel about Evil Energy, the Roboenza virus, and even the Maverick virus possibly being related to each other?

Really weird episode this week, but in a good way. Without much news to speak of, and with possible gas leaks in both of our rooms, we instead decided to talk about Forged in Fire, the video game collector's market, and, of course... Star Track. The subject of Retro Corner is the NES Mega Mans (and 9/10, for some reason), where I thought it would be a good idea to run down all the Robot Masters. Was it a good idea? Probably not, but it brought out some bizarre latent racism from George, so I'm gonna call it win. Theme song by David Cassel Outro music - The Hunger ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPrek1oAjG0 )

We grab our Blasters and get ready to take down some Robot Masters.  Come see how we feel about the classic Mega Man 3.  Does this game still hold up? Starring Mike Albertin, and Michael K Hughes.  Bulby - https://youtube.com/c/Bulby Folloe us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

What would Dr. Starline make of Dr. Wily and vice versa? And would Starline, like Eggman, consider Wily weak for the mere fact that he won't kill Dr. Light despite the fact that it would make Wily life easier? Andrew D. I noticed in the comic that the Chaotix are never referred to as Team Chaotix and instead are referred to as the Chaotix Detective Agency. Is the name “Team Chaotix” no longer allowed to be used, and is “Chaotix Detective Agency” the name of the group, the place they stay at, or both? John B. Hey guys. This question is for both of you. With the announcement that Roger Craig Smith leaving the role of Sonic, what did you like about his performance as Sonic throughout the years. This could range from how he approached the role as a whole or a specific moment. Personally while the deeper voice threw me off at first, I found that Roger had amazing comedic timing. This especially showed in Sonic Boom. Johnny_B_Goode I heard you want questions, so I got a Mega question to ask! In what ways were Mega Man and the Robot Masters less intelligent or capable of agency than reploids or even humans? They had distinct personalities and some could express emotions like despair and remorse. Since Mega Man has had a lot of interpretations, what I'm really asking is what limits you had in mind for their robot brains when writing them.

What would Dr. Starline make of Dr. Wily and vice versa? And would Starline, like Eggman, consider Wily weak for the mere fact that he won't kill Dr. Light despite the fact that it would make Wily life easier? Andrew D. I noticed in the comic that the Chaotix are never referred to as Team Chaotix and instead are referred to as the Chaotix Detective Agency. Is the name “Team Chaotix” no longer allowed to be used, and is “Chaotix Detective Agency” the name of the group, the place they stay at, or both? John B. Hey guys. This question is for both of you. With the announcement that Roger Craig Smith leaving the role of Sonic, what did you like about his performance as Sonic throughout the years. This could range from how he approached the role as a whole or a specific moment. Personally while the deeper voice threw me off at first, I found that Roger had amazing comedic timing. This especially showed in Sonic Boom. Johnny_B_Goode I heard you want questions, so I got a Mega question to ask! In what ways were Mega Man and the Robot Masters less intelligent or capable of agency than reploids or even humans? They had distinct personalities and some could express emotions like despair and remorse. Since Mega Man has had a lot of interpretations, what I'm really asking is what limits you had in mind for their robot brains when writing them. AWF What future plans did you have for Fiona, if anything? Scurvy Piratehog If you could own ONE of these three vehicles (Egg Mobile, Batmobile, Delorean) , which one would you choose and why? IanWaffles Was it always the intention to have sonics character flaws be a reflection of scourge that built up to this ne...

Along the way, they look at the tragedy that was Box Art Mega Man, and talk about how he almost cancelled the Mega Man franchise from get go. This leads them into a conversation about poor translations in video games before they round the bend back to the Mega Man series.

Its time for our Robot Masters to shine as they take today's trip down Memory Card Lane. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

With over 30 years of Mega Man games under our belt and the recent release of Mega Man 11, there is quite a plethora of robot masters and Mavericks to talk about, some better then others. Joining us from the Jump and Shoot podcast, Joie Agliata takes some time from his busy schedule to talk with us about our favorite and least favorites from the bunch. The Jump and Shoot podcast covers everything Mega Man and we highly suggest you go check them out on Twitter and Soundcloud. https://twitter.com/PodcastJump https://soundcloud.com/jump-shoot-528803988

We follow the breadcrumb trail of Mega Man 11 topics from our last episode and review: DLC, potential spin-offs, the future of the Mega Man IP, brand awareness, story threads, and also break some sad news about Fully Charged. The second half of the episode has us chatting about potentialities for Mega Man 12 and what we want to see while we come down from our 11 high and after Capcom has shown us that the Lil Blue Boi still has relevance in 2018. There's a meme about Rip Torn's Robot Masters, Joey takes another opportunity to slam a few game journalists, and Wesley proves he can recite any video game title—no matter how nonsensical or bombastic.

E3 is upon us. But is it necessary? We achieved things. What have you achieved in your gaming week? THE RETURN OF RIZZ! We're talking about Duck Game from Adult Swim. Did you know Link is a kleptomaniac? React channels are great. Especially responses to Contra as found this week. The Mega Man Legacy Collection is coming. The games will be in HD and widescreen. We discuss who our favorite Robot Masters are. We love trailers and teasers. We're talking about the Fallout 4 trailer. We're also talking about the Battleborn trailer. What has been your favorite game trailer so far, and has the game lived up to the trailer hype? The trailers for Bloodborne made Rizz get a PS4. Mirror's Edge Catalyst to be highlighted at E3. It's not Mirror's Edge 2. It's different. Breaking News: The Last Guardian may be alive and well. Will this be the year it appears at E3? We're discussing this past week's Rizz Rant about the relevancy of E3. We used to have Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony press conferences. Now we have 6. Which means the big companies don't get the scoop. Humble Bundle is going to be part of the PC talk at E3. We may be okay with this.
