趣旨:
 RTはロボット技術とITとの融合による価値創造を意味しており,これからの生活や社会にとって重要なテクノロジーと位置づけられています.なかでも,災害,セキュリティ,屋外環境,宇宙探査等での人間には困難な場所における活動や,人間の能力を超えた状況に対しては,ロボットやITの適用が強く求められています.これらの問題の解決のためには,産官学民が連携し,重点的に研究開発を進めていかなければなりません.
 本シンポジウムは,これらの問題を概観し,今後の連携の進め方について議論することを目的としています.特に今回は,副題として "Application horizons from inner space to outer space"を掲げ,体内の極微の世界から,広大な宇宙空間に至るまでの様々な特殊環境におけるRT研究開発の現状と可能性について,国内外の研究者による9件の講演を企画しました.
この分野に興味を持つ多くの方々の参加をお願いいたします.
