レストランなど、より広い産業でロボットが活用されつつあります。さらに、
AI を導入することにより、自律型ロボットの開発が進み、ロボットの需要が一層
高まると考えられます。本イベントでは、日米のロボット開発の動向を比較、
紹介することで、両国のロボット企業がパンデミックの間及びその後のロボット
の役割について、より広い視野を持つことを目指します。

OverviewWith the COVID-19 pandemic, robots are being used not only in manufacturing but also in broader industries such as logistics, healthcare, retail and restaurant. In addition, the combination of robots and AI will lead to the development of autonomous robots, which will further increase the demand for robots. This event aims to introduce and compare robot development trends in the US and Japan so that robotics companies in both countries can gain a broader perspective on the role of robots during and after the pandemic.
