Exhibition Content " Crafting Your Perfect Robotics Wear: Experience the Future of Mobility with ‘Body Movement + VR "
We envision a future in 2050 where robots are seamlessly integrated into everyday life, worn as effortlessly as clothing. By wearing this advanced robot, we present a vision of a "future society" where everyone, --regardless of age, gender, or physical ability, -- can move freely and effortlessly lift heavy objects.
Our booth "T's Exoskeleton" is designed to resemble a tailor shop for custom Robotics Wear. Using the concept of "Move Your Body + VR," visitors will engage in two types of experiences: ①flying, ②lifting. These interactions allow us to gather personalized data to propose "your ideal Robotics Wear. "Along the way, visitors will encounter immersive elements that evoke a sense of "thrill" and "amazement," providing a glimpse into a "new future society" that is unlike anything experienced before.

[Reference] Background of Sponsorship and Exhibition
In our "Long-term Vision 2030," we aim to be a manufacturing company that contributes to solving three key societal challenges: "Creating a people-friendly society," "Building a safe and secure infrastructure for living," and "Creating an Earth-friendly society," through a highly functional and highly automated technology domain.
On the other hand, the "Osaka Healthcare Pavilion" seeks to create new value in the medical and healthcare fields of a future society 25 years from now, under the theme of "REBORN (People can be reborn, Taking a new step forward)." We resonate with this purpose and aim to present an exhibition that contributes to addressing various social challenges leveraging the technologies we have cultivated over many years.
