In London, work is already ongoing on the technology that will lay the foundations for the 2012 Olympics. In Toyko, the city bidding to host the 2016 Games, technology of a very different stripe is taking centre stage.

The Gundam robot is already proving popular and has attracted more than one million visitors in the last three weeks.
