The target is to solve the problem of declining birthrate and aging population, which is one of the social issues. We aim to realize the following items in all industrial fields by using technology that integrates AI, robots, sensors, etc. to cooperate with humans.
- Optimization of labor input resources
- Improvement of employee quality of work
- Creation of new customer value, inheritance of skills and sophistication in anticipation of changes in the industrial structure
We improve the technology of modeling, planning / control, system design,
etc. for systems consisting of workers, sensors, robots, equipment, work
environment, etc. in the manufacturing or service industry. By utilizing
AI that cooperates with humans, we develop and demonstrate technology that
optimizes from the viewpoint of workability and productivity while maintaining
the safety and flexibility of the system. In order to develop new technologies
in the real area, we have established a testbed environment in the Cyber
Physical System research building at the AIST Tokyo Waterfront, including
the factory environment in the manufacturing field and the retail store
environment in the logistics field, and are promoting industry-academia-government
collaboration activities through collaborative research and consortium
partnerships.
In Hokuriku Digital Manufacturing Center, the newest AIST research site opened in May 2023, two research teams have been allocated to encourage R&D in textile and metalworking industries thriving in the Hokuriku region. It is expected to promote innovations in the industries by making new high-value products and services of smart-textile and metal additive manufacturing technologies, as well as the development of digital human resources.
