At Japan’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation on Thursday, President Obama played soccer with a Japanese robot from Honda. The robot, which was about the height of a 10-year-old, kicked a soccer ball to the president, who trapped it with his feet. The visit to the museum was to highlight the recent renewal of a 10-year collaboration between the two countries in the sciences.
