The 28th Annual Conference of the Robotics Society of Japan -Organized Session-

The purpose of this session is to exchange the latest findings and practices, and discuss issues related to humanoid robotics. Topics may cover planning, control, perception, humanoid interaction (with humans and environments), and applications as far as humanoid robots are concerned.

The understanding of human motions and emotions is crucial to develop the robots ability to interact with humans. This session aims at presenting cutting edge research works that address issues related to human comprehension through motion.

The purpose of the session is to provide an opportunity of exchanging ideas and sharing best practices and key experiences about networked robotics and ambient intelligence across people and research teams. Many cutting-edge technologies, combined with existing, proven technologies, will be introduced to keep students and practitioners abreast of the state of the art in the area. Everyone is welcome to attend.

This session will introduce the status of robotics research in the world, including the robotics research of the oversea universities. In this session, the presentations, questions and answers will be performed both in English and Japanese.

The purpose of this session is to encourage even more students and researchers whose native language is not Japanese to present their latest research results. We welcome any topics related to robotics in this session. Researchers who prefer communicating in English than in Japanese are encouraged to present in this session. However, it should be noted that more experts will participate in the other specialized sessions than this session.
