Invited Talks

This talk introduces our Moonshot project, part of Japan’s National Research and Development (R&D) program. The Moonshot program supports high-risk, high-impact R&D aimed at achieving ambitious goals and addressing challenges such as the super-aging population. The objective of our project is to develop adaptable AI-enabled robots that can be deployed in various settings. Currently, we are working on a range of assistive robots called the Robotic Nimbus, which can alter their shape and form based on the user’s condition, environment, and the task at hand. These robots are designed to provide appropriate assistance, particularly for the elderly and disabled, empowering them to act independently.
