SIG-MRE分子ロボット倫理研究会、国立研究開発法人科学技術振興機構(JST)、国立研究開発法人科学技術振興機構社会技術研究開発センター(HITE)
日時:2018年10月9日(火) 14:00-17:30
場所:タワーホール船堀(東京都江戸川区船堀4-1-1)参加費無料
*10月11日(木)ランチョンセミナー「分子ロボットは人類にとって敵か味方か?」についてはこちらをご覧ください。

Molecular Robotics, an emerging interdisciplinary research field among robotics, chemistry and biology has attracted interest from the viewpoint of future technologies potentially applicable to intelligent drug delivery system and artificial muscle for cancer therapy and regenerative medicine, to name a few. This conference focuses on the ethics and technology assessment aspects of molecular robotics. The topics of interest includes comparison between molecular robotics and systems biology ethics, molecular robot guideline, responsible research and innovation and dual use issues in emergence technology, but not restricted to.
