Help get robots to Japan. Need to overcome logistics problems

[think]

I am trying to help a robotics company overcome logistics problems to get their robots where they are needed in Japan.

They are having troubles with translating and finding the right people in the Japanese government to coordinate with.

If anyone could assist in getting this company in contact with the proper agencies in Japan to get their robots there please email me as this is needed asap.

My email as [e-mail]

I'm just trying help and have no relations with the robotics company other than seeing their post on another forum asking assistance in finding a translator and finding the right agencies to contact in Japan. I contacted the company and gave them the name of a robot search and rescue group. The company replied that they were working with the recuse group but are having the same logistics problems.

At this point I just want to help anyway I can as I feel so bad for the people suffering in Japan.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can lend in this effort.

2. Thank you for the suggestion

I just got a call back from the CIDI, Center for International Disaster Information, and they are pointing me in the right direction.


I'll keep this thread going for now but I am hopeful that I have the information they need.
