The Salaryman Robot: A Tribute To Cubicle Jockeys

by Mike Richard

If you’re a dreamy-eyed, workaday cubicle jockey chained to a desk surrounded by Dilbert cartoons, this one’s for you:

Crowds watch the bizarre sight of the life-like Japanese businessman in suit and tie slowly crawling on all fours along the pavement. The robot is a symbol of the Japan’s rigid Salaryman culture.
