Outreach Report: ImPACT Symposium “Bionic Humanoids Propelling New Industrial Revolution”

Our 1st symposium was held at The University of Tokyo on August 8, 2017.

The opening announce was made by Harada PM, Project Manager and the first part was started with the special talk by Dr. Kyuma, full-time executive member of Council for Science, Technology and Innovation, Cabinet Office, about Japan’s basic policies on science technology innovation and ImPACT program.
Then in the 1st invited talk, Mr. Tohyama, Director, Medical and Assistive Device Industries Office presented on METI’s policies on medical equipment industry. In the 2nd invited talk, Prof. Sakuma, Director, Medical Device Development and Regulation Research Center, explained problems on medical equipment review. These talks gave us deeper comprehension about domestic and international trend on medical equipment R&D and issues on the path to the market.

In the second part, Harada PM explained the program overview, and each project leader presented the current R&D progress and future plans.

In the third part, PM、PLs and Program Advisors were on the stage for the panel discussion. The lively discussion was thoroughly made on the prospective utilities and applications of Bionic Humanoids and Smart Arms, current problems of quantitative corresponding to doctor’s sensual expression, and expectations of the program achievement.
