ABOUT

Geometry Global Japan, in partnership with Tezuka Productions, have created “Robot Town Sagami 2028,” an animation depicting a future society where human beings and life supporting robots co-exist in harmony.

Robot Town Sagami is a special district covering 12 municipalities in Kanagawa Prefecture Japan. The district is so named due to its large concentration of industries, research centres and university laboratories specialising in research and development of personal assistive robotics. The development of robots in the district is focused on the assistance of aging populations and coping with natural disasters, both of which are challenges that Japan faces.

The animation is created for Kanagawa Prefecture by Tezuka Productions, known for their animation Astro Boy series, launched as the first Japanese cartoon in 1963. It portrays the future of Robot Town Sagami in 2028 based on interviews of companies and scholars across this district. As such Robot Town Sagami 2028 is a realistic portrayal of the future.
