ABOUT
OUR
PROJECT
While you are awake or sleeping, and when you are at home or going out
AI robots attentively watch, encourage, and help you when necessary
How about a society where such robots are here and there in everyday life?
AI robots sense your physical conditions, expressions, surroundings and conditions of the day
They sometimes support you gently, sometimes push your back softly, while changing functions and shapes accordingly
How about a life where such robots are beside you anytime, anywhere?
If you take a new step forward, you will surely have more fun than ever!
Smarter Inclusive Society nurtures the feeling of “I want to do or to be something” and fulfills it using AI robots.
We aim at a society where everyone lives a healthy life by coexisting with a collective of adaptable AI-enabled robots

APPROACH
Nurture the feeling, “I may be able to do it”
Improvement of self-efficacy by building successful experiences, and reinforcing positive behavior changes
It can be said that self-efficacy is the expectation of how well you can perform actions necessary to produce a certain result and the recognition of possibility of your own actions. As self-efficacy increases, people decide to perform some actions, actually perform the action, and succeed at it. While building experiences of success in their own actions, people become motivated to perform new actions, which may lead them to seek growth through further social participation or involvement with others.
The "heart" is always the same even if the appearance and body of the robot change.
Realization of "a collective of adaptable AI-enabled robots" that accompanies you through life" by achieving qualitative identity
Our goal is to achieve "qualitative identity" in which users recognize a robot as "the usual" robot, even if its functions and shapes change. As a result, even if there are multiple types of adaptable AI-enabled robots that are unevenly distributed in society, they will become "the usual" robot with whom users have built a relationship of trust, and they will be able to participate in society with peace of mind together with the most appropriate robot for their purpose and environment.
Hug gently and support firmly, adapting freely
Adaptable AI-enabled robots that optimize their shapes and forms
By combining 3 "Nimbus"
We create a necessary, sufficient and optimal robots
In order to assist users’ proactive behaviors naturally and without any sense of discomfort, it is necessary not only to have a gentle touch with humans, but also to sense humans’ behaviors and biometric information, and to provide sensory feedback. The shape and form of a robot also must be changed according to users’ physique and physical abilities. By combining the three Nimbus, HOLDER, WEAR, and LIMBS, and also coordinating with other collectives of robots, we will realize "adaptable AI-enabled robots" that are adaptable to all humans.
