U.S. - Japan Workshop on Robotics for Safety, Security, and Society

随着老年人口的增长，在未来几十年里，找到一种方法，在最低限度的人工协助下提高生活质量和安全将变得至关重要。鉴于日本人口老龄化，日本机器人研究人员一直专注于这些领域的研究和应用。美国机器人研究人员也一直在相同的领域进行研究，但角度不同。尽管日本和美国都在同一领域进行研究，但由于缺乏适当的资金结构和机制，美国和日本的研究人员在这些领域几乎没有合作。这次研讨会的目标是启动和促进日本和美国研究人员在安全、安保和社会领域的机器人领域的合作。拟议中的研讨会将把16名日本研究人员和16名美国研究人员聚集在一起，讨论他们的研究，并探索联合合作的机制，以推进和改善安全、安保和社会方面的研究。随着协作研究的发展，增强的研究成果将作为协作工作发布，应用程序将影响社会，并将为未来的协作结构产生想法。

With the growth of the elderly population, finding a way to enhance quality of life and safety with minimum human assistance will become critical in the next few decades. Japanese robotics researchers have been focusing on research and applications in these areas in light of the aging Japanese population. U.S. robotics researchers have also been working on the same areas but from different viewpoints. Even though both Japan and the U.S. are conducting research on the same areas, there has been virtually no collaboration between U.S. and Japanese researchers in these research areas due to the lack of appropriate funding structures and mechanisms. The goal of this workshop is to initiate and facilitate collaborations between Japanese and U.S. researchers in the areas of robotics for safety, security and society. The proposed workshop will bring 16 Japanese researchers and 16 U.S. researchers together to discuss their research, and to explore mechanisms for joint collaborations to advance research in and improve Safety, Security, and Society. As the collaborative research evolves, enhanced research results will be published as collaborative work, applications will affect society, and ideas will be generated for future collaborative structures.
