- h_mirinI'm Japanese, and this is the first I've heard of Gakutensoku. If you asked people in Japan for an old Japanese "robot", I think most would come up with this tea-carrying karakuri doll. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakuri_puppetThat one predates the word "robot" entirely. The design is documented in a 1796 book called "Karakuri Zui", so Edo period, shoguns still in charge.

- miki_mqI have zero knowledge of Japanese but in the description's first line it is 學天則, but in the picture the text is 則天學.
- vintagedaveThe Wikipedia page doesn't say: what happened to this robot?> the details of its disappearance are unknownA mystery! Someone will know...
