Japan Robot Week was first held in 2012. Held the year following the world’s largest robot trade show,
the iREX
(International Robot Exhibition), it has been held every other year, now for the 7th time. In addition
to
manufacturing
and service industry robots, the focus is on collaborative robots and system integrators. In recent has
continued to
expand in response to robot-related needs to become a place where it’s easy to have active business
discussions
and
exchange technologies.
As the need for automation and labor-saving grows rapidly, robots and AI are increasingly prevalent. At
this
event, we
have established new startup and academic zones with the hopes that innovative technology possessed by
such
groups will
help provide clues towards addressing the implementation needs and issues in fields where labor
shortages are
significant, such as agriculture, logistics, nursing care and more.
In a rare experiment for an exhibition, the shared space of the venue will contain a demonstration
area.
The theme is “Towards a society where people and robots coexist.” Keeping in mind the Ministry of
Industry,
Trade, and
Economy’s mission of building robot-friendly environments, it will be an innovative space that respond
to
expectations
both inside and outside the industry with the aim of further social implementation.
We’re looking forward to your visiting.
