The next universal technology since the smartphone is on the horizon — and it may be a little less pocket friendly.
The Moonshot research program, funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency and accelerated by NVIDIA AI and robotics technologies, is working to create a world by 2050 where AI-powered, autonomously learning robots are integrated into Japanese citizens’ everyday lives.
That’s just goal No. 3 of the broader Moonshot initiative, which includes researchers from across Japan’s universities and comprises 10 ambitious technology goals — from ultra-early disease prediction to sustainable resource circulation.
In light of Japan’s rising elderly population, many of the research projects underway center on how robots can aid in senior care. This includes designing a robot that’s capable of caregiving tasks like cooking, cleaning and hygiene care.
