Vanguard correspondent Adam Yamaguchi talks with engineers and developers in Japan creating robots that simulate human characteristics and perform human tasks. With the country's human population declining, the role robots play in everyday life may rise dramatically in coming years.

"Vanguard," airing weekly on Current TV Wednesdays at 10/9c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.
