AI robots growing with people

AI Robot Living Lab Project

About Project

Research Outline

We aim for a future in which everyone can benefit from robots by developing the intelligence (AI) of general-purpose robots that can support people in many settings, such as homes and retail shops. In simulated, everyday environments, robots learn, step by step, to become more intelligent through use. By inviting participants to experience remote robot operations and robot-based services and using their feedback to inform AI development, we conduct participatory research toward a future society in which people and robots coexist.

Future Vision

We aim to develop general-purpose robots that can operate across diverse environments, from everyday settings to a wide range of services. By accumulating data on how robots are used in society, we carefully and continuously train their AI to become more intelligent over time. Our goal is a future society in which the benefits of robots are widely shared, enabling anyone to receive support and assistance beyond time and place.

Message from Research Director

Leveraging Miraikan as a "living lab," we will build a feedback loop that directly reflects insights into R&D. We will collect data in some mock environments such as home and retail shops and validate AI models. By hosting robot competitions and public experiments, we create opportunities for people to experience the latest developments in AI robotics firsthand.
