The robot olympics are coming to Japan in 2020, the same year that the eyes of the world will be on the summer games in Tokyo.

As top human athletes battle for medals, their cutting-edge droid counterparts will also be locked in fierce competition at the "World Robot Summit".

Japan's trade ministry is hosting the event which will feature "competitions and exhibits" involving a variety of machines including humanoid and industrial robots, a government official said Wednesday.
