HUMANOIDS - A Techno-Ontological Approach

November 21^st, 2001

Humanoid Robotics is the challenge for Robotics Research in the Third Millenium.
The problems posed by the development of Humanoid Robots require a wide multidisciplinary approach, including philosophical, cultural and ethical considerations.

The Italy-Japan Workshop "Humanoids - A Techno-Ontological Approach" aims at outlining the current achievements and the perspectives of Humanoid Robotics research in Italy and in Japan, by comparing the approaches adopted in the two countries, and aims at animating a cultural discussion on the philosophical and ethical issues related to the development of Humanoid Robots, which can establish a solid theoretical base for further research in the two countries.
