YUASA, Wakayama Prefecture As the aspiring robot designer slogged away loading mikan fruit into wheelbarrows, it occurred to him that surely there had to be a less exhausting way to do it.
“Transferring mikan was tough, and I remember thinking if I could do something to make the process easier,” says Mizuhito Terashima, founder of CuboRex, a Tokyo-based startup that has developed a system to electrify wheelbarrows for agricultural and engineering work. He hails from Yuasa, Wakayama Prefecture.
Mikan farmers in Wakayama and Ehime prefectures and other clients across Japan are embracing the E-Cat Kit, which can be used to modify various types of carts, to move loads more easily.
Pedestrians staring at their phones cause crowd confusion

Walkers so distracted by their mobile phones that they can t move in a straight line down the street have long been blamed for causing pavement pile-ups.
However, researchers have now scientifically illustrated how just a few rogue pedestrians staring at screens can send people behind and approaching them into a frenzy of confusion.
Crowds heading towards each other are plunged into chaos because the person too busy texting is not keeping tabs on who is ahead of them nor anticipating the behaviour of others, the study revealed.
Their lack of attention to their surroundings means the people approaching them are forced to move in unnatural directions to accommodate them.
