The Second JSPS-DFG Roundtable on “Cooperative Technology in Future: Cognitive Technical Systems” was held on 8-10 February at JSPS’s Tokyo Office. It was co-hosted by JSPS and the German Research Foundation (DFG).
This series of symposiums is aimed at strengthening ties between the Japanese and German scientific communities through a program of presentations and discussions on a topic of cutting-edge research, while seeding joint research with an eye to the future. To this second Roundtable were invited a total of 35 researchers in fields related to cognitive technical systems from Japan and Germany. Their dialogue was advanced through five sessions: Vision and Interaction, Space and Action, Language and Semantics, Knowledge and Reasoning, and Social Interactions. Though a little hesitant at first, the researchers from both countries gradually mixed and engaged each other in an animated discussion that integrated these various themes beyond the framework of their individual or group research into a Japanese-German collaborative context, even expanding the scope of their discussion to a global level. This was among the most significant outcomes of this Roundtable. - Research Cooperation Division I  |
