About 安全太郎 / Robots for safety

In Japan, robots are often used instead of construction workers for the simple task of signaling construction ahead. Those robots are called Anzen Taro (you could translate it to "Joe Safety", maybe).

There are many types around, and complexity goes from a simple-looking metal plate to sophisticated clothed mannequins, but all of them have a robotic arm... or sometimes they come in the form of a large LED screen showing a construction worker waving a flag.

Please share your photos of any Anzen Taro at work (or not) throughout Japan, or even maybe elsewhere?
