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 2050the co-existence and co-evolution of a wide variety of robots and people will create a vibrant society in which all people can participate.
