AIST, Tsukuba. AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) is just 10 - 15 minutes walk from Tsukuba Space Center. The Science Square in this facility is certainly a place not to be missed. It displays research results of AIST. One of it is Paro, the world’s most therapeutic robot, certified by the Guinness World Records in 2002. The original design was previously exhibited in the Expo 2005 Aichi and is now being displayed here. For more info on the baby harp seal, visit here
