Three Pillars
PR, field trials, and standardization drive the future of human-robot coexistence.
Background & Purpose
HuRoC fuses Ota City’s manufacturing base with additive manufacturing (AM) to advance social deployment that spans prototypes through to mass production.
While AM faces challenges in strength and finishing, we validate performance, reliability, and scalability through machining, polishing, surface treatments, and field demonstrations.
Ota City as a Testbed
Leveraging machining strengths and AM expertise to connect prototyping with production.
Collaborative Platform
Government, academia, and industry co-create standards for human-robot collaboration.
Program Overview
- Consortium Collaboration
- Partnering with the Ota AM Project to align local government, universities, and companies.
- Purpose
- Transform Ota City into a region that excels at both prototyping and mass production through AM × precision machining.
- Key Message
- “Social deployment of AM and standards for human-robot coexistence, launched from Ota City.”
