This talk introduces our Moonshot project which is a project in the
National Research and Development (R&D) program in Japan. The Moonshot
program promotes high-risk, high-impact R&D aiming to achieve ambitious
Moonshot Goals and solve issues facing future society such as
super-aging populations. Our project aims to create adaptable AI-enabled
robots available in a variety of places. We are now developing a variety
of assistive robots called the Robotic Nimbus which can change their
shape and form according to the user’s condition, environment, and the
purpose of the task, and provide appropriate assistance to encourage the
user to take independent action. Especially, in this talk, we focus on
the human-assistive/human function-enhancing robots in the fields of
nursing care and healthcare.
