What is Next Generation Robot ?


5/32

A Next Generation Robot is

A System integrating sensing devices,

information processing technology

(AI) and motion control

-A Humanoid is a classic robot. However the form of a robot is notdefined, i.e. a house, building and city can be a next generation

robot if the three component technologies are embedded in it.

-In many conventional products robotization has started.

Not conventional industrial robot

Transport Robot in the Hospital

Murata Machinery, Ltd.


Care staff can order to carry heavy stuff,

medicines, etc. on the wagon anywhere

in the hospital.The robot can avoid obstacles and people

autonomously.

For compensating current easy but indispensable

task that care staff have to do.


19/32

Requirement for diffusion of Service Robots

1. Legislations of standards and laws concerning safetyissues

2. Deregulation and improvement of regulations (eg. The

Road Traffic Act and Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, etc.)

which restrict practices of the next generation robots as

there is no regulations unique to robots

3. Redesigning social system supposing diffusion of the

next generation robot

4. Large capital inputs and/or emergence of large companyplayers (eg. Panasonic and Toyota have officially

announced for their emergences)


20/32

Osaka is the leading region of NGR industrialization

in Japan.

NGR Industrialization of Local Region: Osaka City, KobeCity, Fukuoka City, Kita-Kyushu City, Kanagawa Pref.,Kawasaki City, Gifu Pref., Nagoya City, Toyama Pref.,Tsukuba City


21/32

Why Osaka?

A number of influential colleges and institutions engaged

in RT-related leading-edge researchesConcentration of many small-to-medium size company

groups having manufacturing technologies and worldrenowned appliance and electronic device giantcorporations

Megalopolis with 2.6 million population

Strategic approach to promote robot industry clusteringcooperating with local government, universities and localindustries

Establishment of core base to create industry cluster:Robot Laboratory

Very large scale development of urban renewal integratingRT and ubiquitous technology
