Overview
Japan leads the world in therapeutic and assistive robotics for healthcare, driven by a combination of engineering excellence and acute demographic pressure. This programme visits Cyberdyne facilities in Tsukuba (HAL exoskeleton), AIST research labs (PARO therapeutic robot), and care homes using Robear and other assistive devices. Participants interact directly with the robots and hear from engineers, caregivers, and patients about real-world outcomes.
Program Objectives
- Understand the landscape of therapeutic and assistive robotics in Japan.
- Evaluate the clinical and operational outcomes of robotic care tools.
- Assess the feasibility of adopting robotic care solutions in their country.
