Moonshot Goal 3
Realization of AI robots that autonomously learn, adapt to their environment, evolve in intelligence and act alongside human beings, by 2050.

Target of Moonshot Goal

Development of AI robots that humans feel comfortable with, have physical abilities equivalent to or greater than humans, and grow in harmony with human life, by 2050.
Development of AI robots that behave well with humans under certain conditions, and allow over 90% of people to feel comfortable with them, by 2030.
Development of an automated AI robot system that aims to discover impactful scientific principles and solutions, by thinking and acting in the field of natural science, by 2050.
Development of an automated AI robot system that aims to support the process of discovery for scientific principles and solutions to specific problems by 2030.
Development of AI robots that autonomously make judgements and act in environments where it is difficult for humans to act by 2050.
Development of AI robots that operate unattended under human supervision in specific circumstances by 2030.
