「Robotics Technologies and their Benchmarking at International Robotics Competitions」
講師：Gustavo Garcia（立命館大学 准教授）
International robotics competitions bring together the research community to solve real-world, current problems such as drilling in aircraft manufacturing (Airbus Shopfloor Challenge), warehouse automation (Amazon Robotics Challenge), and convenience store automation (Future Convenience Store Challenge). In this talk, I will discuss our approach to these competitions and describe the technical difficulties, design philosophy, development, lessons learned, and remaining challenges. In particular, I will talk about the Future Convenience Store Challenge, whose goal is to create an autonomous robot to remove expired products and place new products on convenience store shelves, including temporarily stopping work when a customer requires a product from the shelf operated by the robot, and the decision-making process behind this system, as well as our latest research on decision-making using Large Language Models.

「Challenges towards Industry 5.0 in controlled environment plant production systems with high proportion of local renewable energy: From system integration to optimization of techno-economical intelligent control systems」
講師：Jorge Solis（カールスタード大学准教授／早稲田大学非常勤研究員）
In this lecture, Prof. Solis will present a new project that deals with the development of intelligent control systems for greenhouse lighting with a high proportion of local renewable energy. The project will develop an intelligent control system to optimize the operation of lighting systems in greenhouses with a high proportion of local renewable energy using adaptive control methods, Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms and optimization of built-in lighting control. Through this, lighting systems will be optimized, energy consumption will be minimized and the lighting system will be adapted to be able to handle a larger amount of local renewable energy production.
