Let's Learn More About Robots! 〜 Robots × Japanese Anime Past, Present, and Future 〜

How far have robots really come today? Humanoid robots are starting to work in factories, and quadruped robots are walking in the streets. We see them in the news, but where exactly are robots today? We will welcome Mr. Rikiya Yamamoto, who runs the talent and information platform “RobotMateHub” in the robotics industry, to hear about their ‘current state’. Mr. Yamamoto is well-versed in the cutting-edge robotics situation, including news from China that's buzzing on YouTube, and this will be a precious opportunity to catch up with the latest information on robots. ──────── ──────── This is not a study session where we simply listen to a one-sided talk. We will proceed in a dialogue format where participants can throw questions to Mr. Yamamoto. Please bring along any questions you’ve been curious about but didn’t know who to ask. We will prepare light snacks and drinks and start with a toast. We aim to create a relaxed environment where you can chat while eating and drinking. ──────── ▪️ About the Robot Carnival AI Film Contest The organizer is the operation team of the AI film contest “Robot Carnival”.
