RIKEN Information R&D and Strategy Headquarters Guardian Robot Project

In April 2019, we launched a new project to promote R&D for the social implementation of next-generation robots ("brain x AI") that synergistically incorporate the strengths of psychology, brain science, cognitive science and AI research toward a future society where humans, AI and robots can flexibly coexist. Conventional robots have mostly performed only limited tasks based on detailed instructions from humans. However, this project aims to develop a robot that can autonomously recognize its environment and the state of the person it is supposed to support and provide assistance unobtrusively without compromising the autonomy of the person, with appropriate interaction.
