Abstract

This paper introduces an overview of the “Adaptable AI-enabled Robots to Create a Vibrant Society” project, which is part of the “Moonshot R &D Program” led by the Cabinet Office of Japan. We also introduce CARE, Cooperation of Ai-Robot Enablers, which are being researched and developed to improve productivity in the nursing care field. The importance of building an educational system for the successful use of advanced technologies will also be presented, and then we propose a nursing care motion guidance system using AR glasses that allows non-expert caregivers to learn appropriate nursing care.
