Abstract

Toward a post-COVID society and the prosperous future that lies ahead, cooperative control between humans and machines through robotics, AI, IoT, and CPS x ergonomics is becoming increasingly important. In order to realize diverse work styles for diverse human resources, expand the productive population, eliminate population bias, and develop skilled workers, it is necessary to develop technologies that enable people to work anywhere, anytime, rand receive training and education, which will contribute to strengthening competitiveness.

Session Program

This forum will discuss the theme of human-machine collaboration for manufacturing of the future from three perspectives. In the first session, cutting-edge research will be introduced, in the second, efforts toward social implementation by companies, and in the third, suggestions from a policy perspective will be presented from each standpoint.
