Goal 3 R&D Projects (Selected in FY2020)Collaborative AI robots for adaptation of diverse environments and innovation of infrastructure construction

Project manager (PM)NAGATANI KeijiProfessor, Institute of Systems and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba

Summary of the project

We will conduct research and development of "collaborative AI robots" that can respond flexibly to different situations and perform tasks in difficult environments such as disaster sites. This technology will also be useful in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure on the ground.

Milestone by year 2030

Aiming to mitigate natural disasters (river channel blockage), we will develop a multi-unit cooperative AI robot system that can respond flexibly to different situations than expected.

Milestone by year 2025

We will develop a prototype of a system of multiple cooperative AI robots that can respond flexibly to different situations than expected for the purpose of mitigating natural disasters (river channel blockage).
