Announcement of “The 6th UoA Robotics Symposium”

Wednesday, March 17, 2021 The University of Aizu Revitalization Center and Aizu Research Cluster for Robot will host the 6th University of Aizu Robotics Symposium online and announce the results of the 2020 research on the "RTC-Library-FUKUSHIMA" website.

Since FY 2018, we have been working with private companies in and outside of the prefecture on the "Challenge Fukushima: Project to create a 'Land of Robotic Industrial Revolution' Phase II (Stage II)"※. At the 6th symposium, we will present the results of our robot technology research and development, including the technological development of "CloudRobotics : a technology that realizes greater functionality by connecting multiple robot systems via internet connection".

This symposium will be held on the web.For more information, please see the following.
Participation is free and limited to 100 people.

※"Challenge Fukushima: Project to create a 'Land of Robotic Industrial Revolution' Phase II (Stage II)"
Since FY2015, the University of Aizu has been participating in the project as a core research institute of the "Challenge Fukushima 'Land of Robot Industrial Revolution' Creation Project", which is being promoted by Fukushima Prefecture mainly in Hamadori region to promote the "Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework Promotion Organization".
In 2019, the University of Aizu established the University of Aizu Robot Test Field Research Center at the Fukushima Robot Test Field, which has been developed as a major research and development base for robots unparalleled anywhere in the world, contributing to the promotion of the robotics industry that will support the reconstruction of the Hamadori region.
