[Recorded Live] Webinar: "Robotics for Well-Being" - SXSW 2020 | Panasonic (Addedn on April 14, 2020.)
Tokyo, Japan - Panasonic Corporation has announced a virtual panel session titled "Robotics for Well-Being," which will be streamed live on zoom webinar on April 9 at 10am Japan Standard Time. The session had been originally planned to take place at SXSW 2020 in Austin TX, but the entire event has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Mr. Takeshi Ando, Head of Panasonic Aug Lab, and his distinguished co-panelists believe that the current situation makes the topic of the planned discussion even more poignant: how robotics can contribute to human wellbeing. Despite the initial setback, the speakers feel strongly about sharing the panel content with fellow industry leaders as well as the wider public.
Panasonic Corporation fully endorses this initiative and is actively supporting the virtual panel session. In the current situation, where exchanging ideas and inspiration is more important than ever, we continue our search for new forms of open innovation and enabling human interaction. This session is a reflection of our dedication to this purpose.
