摘要

There is considerable potential need for non-industrial next generation robots used in facilities such as hospitals and nursing centers and at home and disaster sites. However, specific applications (breakthrough applications) for next-generation robots have not been discovered yet, and practical applications remain in a limited area. Accordingly, the new challenge to expand the robot market by developing new applications in other fields and spread and expand robot technology to various industrial fields should be made. In this paper, the development projects of advanced robot technology in Japan will be introduced.
