Goal 3 R&D Projects (Selected in FY2020)Co-evolution of Human and AI-Robots to Expand Science Frontiers

Project manager (PM)HARADA KanakoProfessor, Graduate Schools of Medicine/Engineering, The University of Tokyo

Summary of the project

This project aims to develop AI-robots conducting scientific experiments in a challenging environment (e.g. in a hazardous atmosphere, or in a micro-scale setup), while interacting with scientists as a peer scientist. AI-robots and scientists will change their mutual interactions and do tries-and-errors together to handle objects or work in environments that they have never experienced with. The proposed concept will realize the discovery of scientific principles and solutions by AI-Robots in the science fields by 2050.

Milestone for 2030

The project will develop AI-robots that estimate and reflect the intentions and thoughts of scientists based on their past activities to autonomously perform scientific experiments that could not be done by human scientists alone.

Milestone for 2025

The project will develop AI-robots that automatically interpret a large set of experimental results and propose hypotheses to scientists that humans would not be able to come up with, enabling scientists to formulate new strategies to perform scientific experiments that could not be done by human scientists alone.
