R&D Project
Goal 3 R&D Projects (Selected in FY2020)Adaptable AI-enabled Robots to Create a Vibrant Society
Project manager (PM)HIRATA YasuhisaProfessor, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University
Summary of the project
This project aims to create a collective of adaptable AI-enabled robots available at a variety of places. Each robot will be usable by anyone at any time, and will adjust its form and functions according to the individual user to provide optimal assistance and services. By 2050 the co-existence and co-evolution of a wide variety of robots and people will create a vibrant society in which all people can participate.
Milestone by year 2030
To show that the adaptable AI robot can be a driving force for creating a vibrant society in which everyone can participate enthusiastically not only in daily life but also in travel, sports, and other activities.
Milestone by year 2025
To improve the motivation of nursing home residents to be active and to enable them to actively participate in social events, we aim to develop adaptable AI robots that can change their form and function in specific environments to improve the mobility and skills of the users.
