  • Date: May 24, 13:00-17:00
  • Venue: Fukuoka Infernational Congress Center, 4th floor, Room F
  • Organizers:
  • Hajime Asama (University of Tokyo, Japan)
    Tsutomu Hasegawa (Kyushu University, Japan)
  • Purpose:
    Both Japan and Korea are two of the leading countries making intensive efforts in the Next Generation Robot (NGR) for Daily Human Life by establishing national projects focused on this domain of robotics. However, researchers and engineers in both countries do not know well about the ongoing projects of the neighboring country. The objective of the workshop is to bring researchers, engineers and managers together to obtain the knowledge of the projects, to accelerate and promote the projects, and to foster the new ideas by exchanging information mutually.
