The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has adopted 15 leading research themes aimed at social implementation of next-generation artificial intelligence technology.

 In this leading research, we mainly set robotics and materials / devices as technological areas to be integrated with artificial intelligence.The implementation period will be less than two years, and we will research and develop promising next-generation artificial intelligence technology that will contribute to solving social issues facing Japan while utilizing high-quality field data. From 2, we will connect the results to full-scale research and development for social implementation of artificial intelligence.

 The main themes adopted are "Research and development on service engineering x AI for improving the working environment and adding value of logistics services" and "Research and development of AI-driven ambient sensor / actuator system that reduces the daily risk of elderly people". , "Research and development of behavioral interaction technology by real-world embedded AI that induces progress of health promotion", "Research and development of advanced material handling system by AI x robotics for in-store work such as convenience stores", etc.Universities such as the University of Tokyo and University of Tsukuba, as well as companies and research institutes are listed as outsourced companies.

 Through these efforts, NEDO will expand the field of artificial intelligence application from information services to physical services, aiming to solve Japanese social issues such as productivity improvement, elderly support, and health promotion, and artificial intelligence technology that is globally accepted. It is aiming to establish.
