Social Issues and The Theme of My Business

Focused social issues: The problem of labor shortage in physical work due to declining birthrate and aging population
Business theme: Remote physical work platform to efficiently match robot and human intelligence

Motivation

Envisioning “a society where people can engage in creative works by leaving boring tasks to machines”, I have been focused on developing technology to make unconventional robots that are not only limited to fixed operations. However, I realized that I was trapped in technology and not being able to see society. I decided to apply in order to creating a system that firmly places society in the vision.
