The lecture by Dr. Hiroshi Ishiguro and talking session by the MITOH program (by IPA) experienced person
IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan) have invited Dr. Ishiguro, a world class professor in robotic technology and the project manager of the Exploratory IT Human Resources Project (the MITOH program), to speak about his latest research.
In the first half of the session, he will address his latest research and the MITOH program, and in the second half, the MITOH program graduates will join and have a panel discussion about the MITOH program and the latest trends in the IT industry.
This program is held in Japanese and we regret there is no translation service into other languages.

Hiroshi Ishiguro
Hiroshi Ishiguro (M’) received a D.Eng. in systems engineering from the Osaka University, Japan in 1991. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Department of Systems Innovation in the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Osaka University (2009–) and Group Leader (2011–) of Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratory at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute (ATR).
His research interests include distributed sensor systems, interactive robotics, and android science. He has published more than 300 papers in major journals and conferences, such as Robotics Research and IEEE PAMI. On the other hand, he has developed many humanoids and androids, called Robovie, Repliee, Geminoid, Telenoid, and Elfoid. These robots have been reported many times by major media, such as Discovery channel, NHK, and BBC. He has also received the best humanoid award four times in RoboCup. In 2007, Synectics Survey of Contemporary Genius 2007 has selected him as one of the top 100 geniuses alive in the world today.
