It seems that Stark Enterprises (was Stark Industries) have signed an agreement with AKS - AKB48 management company to provide the AKB48 Theater with the latest hi-tech product from them. They have installed a number of multipurpose robots at strategic location on the stage where the AKB48 girls perform everyday.

According to an inside source, the multipurpose robots mostly are fitted with fire extinguisher. It is a safety measure taken by management in case there's fire on the stage as the performances are getting hotter day by day. The robots can also be fitted with smoke machine, cameras for recording, or simply an applause sign for the audience.

The robots installed in the theater is the latest model designed by Tony Stark, the owner of Stark Enterprises. Earlier model can be seen in the Iron Man film, a 2008 film depicting the true story of Tony Stark, fitted with fire extinguisher and camera.

"The latest model is smaller, efficient and only react when there's trouble", the inside source added.
