Toward a Prosperous Future Where Humans and Robots Cooperate

摘要

Based on the roadmap formulated by "Consortium for Human-Centric Manufacturing Innovation" (here-in after referred to as HCMI Consortium) of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, an industry-academia-government collaborative platform launched on April 10, 2019, this paper introduces initiatives and future prospects for human-centric robotics that collaborate with humans and human-in-the-loop cyber-physical system to support future industrial infrastructure for a sustainable and prosperous society. In particular, in cooperation with humans, it is important to understand the behavior of workers. For this purpose, it is important to have a fundamental technology that can represent models of human in cyber-physical systems and simulate the relationship between human and machines. Based on this fundamental technology, we are proceeding with demonstrations in various use cases.
