The 4th AI Robot-Driven Science
Symposium
December 17, 2026 (Thu) @ Ito Hall, The University of Tokyo
The AI Robot-Driven Science Initiative (AIRDS) will hold the 4th AI Robot-Driven Science Symposium on December 17, 2026 (Thursday).
At this symposium, we will share the current state of AI for Science and AI robot-driven science in Japan, and discuss the research infrastructure, industry-academia-government collaboration, international collaboration, and social implementation that will be needed next, as national investment in research is entering full swing.
We also plan to provide networking opportunities where researchers, companies, government and related organizations, and early-career researchers can connect across fields through corporate exhibitions, research exhibitions, and poster presentations.
Details on the program, speakers, and how to register will be announced on this page as they are finalized.
