The American journal Science holds the first "Science Robotics Meeting in Japan"
Opportunities and challenges on the intersection of science and industry will be discussed in Japan

The American journal Science will hold a three-day “Science Robotics Meeting in Japan” at Heisei Plaza in Odaiba, Tokyo from March 12 to 14, 2018. The event will be organized by Science journal, which was first published in 1880.

This meeting will be held for the first time in the world in Japan, the leading country for robotics technology, and experts will be gathered from both Japan and internationally. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss and clarify the opportunities, challenges and issues of this century’s key technology, robotic technology, in areas where science and industry intersect.

At this meeting, the current situation of how robots or robotic technologies are affecting our society and life at an unprecedented rate and under all circumstances will be discussed. Targeted industries include energy and the environment, manufacturing, finance, logistics, construction, agriculture, medical and health care, biotechnology, housing, automobiles, sales and marketing, and prevention of natural disasters.

Notice:

On change of keynote speaker: Prof. Ning Xi of The University of Hong Kong is scheduled to make a keynote speech of "Science and Enabled Science in Nano Robotics" titled, but he was unable to come to Japan for some private reasons.

Therefore Prof. Koji Ikuta of The University of Tokyo will make a keynote speech instead of Prof. Xi at the same timetable. Please accept our many apologies and comprehend this situation. We appreciate it if you enjoy keynote speech made by Prof. Koji Ikuta.
