The Future of Robotics: Emerging Waves in The U.S. and JapanKeizai SocietyWednesday, November 7, 2012 from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM (PST)Palo Alto, CA |

Event Details
Japan has been traditionally the world’s dominant innovator in robotics and its application in many critical industries. However, in the past decade, the U.S. has drastically elevated its presence in this technologically demanding field. Given the rise of the US in robotics, intriguing and important questions arise: Can Japan maintain its preeminent position? What can Japan learn from the U.S, and vice versa? What effects could the following conditions have on the innovative leap by the U.S.: legacy software sector, the rise of robotic startups in Silicon Valley, and collaboration among academia, industry and military? Undoubtedly significant new waves are emerging in this field. Now is the time to reset our views of the future of robotics.
