Are the Japanese developing a Gundam?

I say to you today, my friends, that even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in Japanese robot shows of old. I have a dream that one day Japan will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all giant robots are created equal, and equally blow shit up.” I have a dream that Gundams and Gunmen will one day be real, so I can own one and shout: “Who the hell do you think I am!?” as I stomp all over your business.

According to Gunota Headlines, there is a slight chance that my dream might come true. November 7-8 the 2007 Research Paper Reading Meeting ~Defense Technology Symposium 2007 will be held at the Hotel Grad Hill Ichigaya. That’s cool and all, but that is not the cool part -- over at the Ministry Of Defense's Technical Research & Development Institute’s website they have the program for this top secret meeting available.

Here is where it gets interesting: on the second page of this program there lists a topic called "Towards The Realization Of A Gundam (Advanced Personal Equipment System)." This means they will be thinking about how a Gundam (or giant robot) may be useful in modern day defense technology. That’s nice and all, but hopefully they can brain storm a few designs out then and there so that I may have one by Christmas next year. Make it clap people!
