Humanoid Robotics is the challenge for Robotics Research
in the Third Millenium.
The problems posed by the development of Humanoid
Robots require a wide multidisciplinary approach, including philosophical,
cultural and ethical considerations.
The
Italy-Japan Workshop on Humanoid Robotics
aims at outlining the current achievements and the perspectives
of Humanoid Robotics research in Italy and in Japan, by comparing
the approaches adopted in the two countries, and aims at animating
a cultural discussion on the philosophical and ethical issues
related to the development of Humanoid Robots, which can establish
a solid theoretical base for further research in the two countries. |
