++IROS Worshop: Robot Services in Aging Society++

The world is facing a drastic change in demography. Technologies to support quality of life and to maintain social and productive activities of everyday and everybody are most demanded for the sustainability of the society. Being motivated by human physical functionality, robotics has developed the foundation of dexterous mechanisms, reliable sensing systems, and intelligent computational algorithms. The recent technology even sets a goal on anthropomorphic robots. Focussing technology on various applications of robot services and preparing for the demographic change would be timely and of interests for scientists of research institutions, engineers of industries, and students. The govermental initiatives have recently started in the US, EU, and Japan. In this workshop, the leading researchers in the fields will exchange their scopes, activities, and most recent developments and open discussions to the participants.
