Highlights

1. Largest-ever Industrial Robot Zone

The use of industrial robots has expanded beyond the conventional automotive and electronic parts industries to areas such as food and medicine, recently gaining attention in a wide range of fields from logistics to construction. At this year's exhibition, a new Robot SIer Zone in the Aomi Hall will showcase robotic system integrators (SIer), which offer automation systems based on actual work environments. Extending across all three venues, this zone will be the event's largest.

2. Service Robot Zone covering a broad range of fields, from disaster response to nursing care/welfare, agriculture and education

In addition to demonstrations of the latest robots centered around the NEDO booth, the Service Robot Zone will also feature joint exhibits of agricultural robotics by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Trial competitions (product assembly challenge, future convenience store challenge) will also be held ahead of the World Robot Summit 2020, to be organized by NEDO and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Other exhibits will include robots that assist with daily life, including nursing care, welfare and education.

3. Daily symposiums and forums with international character

Beginning with the iREX Robot Forum 2019 in the International Conference Room on the opening day, the exhibition will host forums with distinguished industrial robot developers and technical experts from Japan and abroad. Various forums will also focus on service robots (infrastructure, agriculture and nursing care), with the West Hall 4F main stage hosting "AI/Robot Use in Construction Production & Management Systems" and "The Future of Smart Agriculture with Robots & ICT" on the second day.
