Unlike most other Japanese, he has actually done it. His 4 tonne, 4 metre tall Kuratas robot is a grey behemoth with a built-in pilot's seat and hand-held controller that allows an operator to flex its massive arms, move it up and down and drive it at a speed of up to 10 kph. "The robots we saw in our generation were always big and always had people riding them, and I don't think they have much meaning in the real world," Kurata, a 39-year-old artist, said.

It is the first isolated planet of its kind to be discovered after a search of more than a decade "looking for a needle among thousands of haystacks", the scientists said. Up to seven times the size of Jupiter, it is not influenced by the gravity of a nearby body and meets the criteria of mass, temperature and age necessary for it to be designated a planet. Between 50million and 120million years old, it is believed to be part of a group of around 30 very young stars known as the AB Doradus moving group.
The planet was discovered by researchers at the University of Montreal, who consulted French colleagues and referenced data from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope.
