OMRON CORP EMPLOYEE HOLDS MOBILE PHONE BETWEEN PROTOTYPES OF FOUR-LEGGED ROBOTS UNVEILED BY JAPANESE COMPANIES IN TOKYO. Omron Corp's Tan-ichi Ando holds a mobile phone flanked by prototypes of four-legged dinosaur lookalike robots unveiled by Japanese robot research Tmsuk Co and Omron, one of Japan's biggest manufacturers of industrial control equipment, in Tokyo March 26, 2002. Equipped with a camera and a third-generation mobile phone, they can roam through a home or building under the command of a security control centre. The companies hope to begin marketing a robot system using the techolology within a year. REUTERS/Toshiyuki Aizawa
