JST ASPIRE 3D Embodied AI International Collaboration Planning Workshop

Overview

This post-ICRA workshop is organized as a focused international research meeting under the JST ASPIRE framework. It brings together collaborators from Japan, Europe, and North America to discuss future directions in embodied AI in three-dimensional space, with a particular focus on aerial robotics, physical interaction, bio-inspired robotics, soft and morphing robotic systems, and multi-robot autonomy.

The workshop combines a framing session, short team pitches, thematic discussions, and a convergence session. Its main goal is to strengthen international brain circulation and identify concrete collaboration axes, researcher and student exchange plans, and possible joint outputs within the next 6-12 months, including joint papers, experiments, proposals, benchmark tasks, and follow-up events.
