Gadget fanatics can now get their fix at the Science Museum's latest exhibition.

Although the title, Japan: Gateway To The Future, may be a little misleading, as some of the technology has been around for a while now, it should still get the heart racing faster for those into gadgets and gismos.

Among the racier exhibits is a chance to experience the future of driving in a Lexus car equipped with Toyota's latest integrated traffic system.

Robots are to the fore, with seal-like robot Paro (used in mental health therapy) and Sony's pet robot AIBO on display, and demonstrations this weekend of TMSUK - a new remote control robot designed to replace humans working in dangerous locations. Also, don't miss the latest in all-dancing mobile phone wizardry.
