We will not only run robots in laboratories, but also trains them through demonstration experiments until they can be used in actual nursing care facilities. Meanwhile, we will accumulate data to evolve them.
02 Establishing Safety Criteria for AI Robots

We will create safety evaluation standards for robots. If there is an easy-to-understand “Precautions for use” for robots like the effects and side effects of medication, humans can use robots with confidence.

We are aiming for the AI robot to be able to think, “In this case, let’s do this,” based on the knowledge accumulated by watching many interactions between humans and AI robots and understanding each situation.

Even if a single robot cannot do something, the robot can do it by cooperating with others. We will design the cooperation and coordination of multiple robots in order to support humans appropriately.
In order for robots to be accepted by humans and society, we will work on international standardization of the idea, “Robots should be like this” from the viewpoint of the perspective of ethics and law as well as the protection of personal information.
