R&D Project
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 are conducting research and development on "collaborative AI robots" that can flexibly respond to unexpected situations and carry out tasks in challenging environments, such as disaster sites. By 2050, these robots are expected to take on emergency recovery work after natural disasters, and the same technology will also support the construction and maintenance of infrastructure on the ground.
Milestone by year 2030
We will develop a collaborative AI robot system called CAFE (Collaborative AI Field robots Everywhere), which can flexibly adapt to unexpected situations. This system aims to support infrastructure construction in various environments, including those affected by natural disasters.
Milestone by year 2025
We will develop a prototype of the collaborative AI robot system CAFE (Collaborative AI Field robots Everywhere), which can flexibly adapt to unexpected situations. This prototype will be used to carry out infrastructure construction in simulated natural disaster environments.
