Osaka Expo androids to be moved to Kyoto

The Japan Times

Android robots shown at the Osaka Expo in a pavilion produced by University of Osaka professor Hiroshi Ishiguro will be relocated to Kyoto Prefecture. OSAKA - Seven android robots shown at the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka in a pavilion produced by University of Osaka professor Hiroshi Ishiguro will be relocated to Kyoto Prefecture after the end of the event on Monday. In addition, the Dutch pavilion will be moved to Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture. People involved in the use of expo assets after the event hope that they will be loved as tourist attractions in their new places. The prefectural government of Kyoto was chosen as the new owner of the androids in an open tender held by the expo organizer, the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, in September. The robots will be shown to the public at a research facility in the Keihanna Science City research district straddling the Kyoto municipalities of Seika and Kizugawa.

Life-sized Gundam to be displayed at 2025 Osaka Expo

The Japan Times

Bandai Namco Holdings has said it will display a life-sized Gundam robot model in its pavilion of the 2025 World Exposition in the city of Osaka. According to the toy and video game company's announcement Wednesday, it will be the first public display of a full-size model of the robot hero from the anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam" in the Kansai region. The life-sized Gundam, about 17 meters tall, is set to be displayed in a kneeling posture with one knee raised and the right arm stretched upward, symbolizing a wish to reach out to the universe and the future. The statue will be displayed beside the pavilion from April 13 to Oct. 13, 2025. It will be built mostly with reused materials from the Moving Gundam, which had been displayed in Yokohama until March this year.


A Science of Buildings That Can Grow---and Melt Away

WSJ.com: WSJD - Technology

A look at how innovation and technology are transforming the way we live, work and play. A body of work that includes a pavilion spun by 6,500 silkworms (with the help of a robotic arm), a series of 3D-printed sculptures filled with liquid channels of the pigment melanin (which she envisions could be used in the façades of buildings to protect against ultraviolet rays), and a collection of artifacts constructed using materials derived from shrimp shells and insect exoskeletons. Since leaving academia, Ms. Oxman, 46 years old, has focused on Oxman, the New York-based architecture firm that she founded in 2020 with the aim of applying her design philosophy to real-world projects. A retrospective of her work is on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The Wall Street Journal spoke to Ms. Oxman about the future of urban architecture and how she thinks design can be used as a tool to fight climate change. The idea behind material ecology is to enable total synergy between grown and built environments by deploying new digital technologies that allow us to augment bio-based materials for large-scale construction.


TIE 2020 Shows a Path to a Smarter Future Forged by Taiwan's Resilience

#artificialintelligence

The impacts of the recent COVID-19 pandemic on global trade and our daily lives have led to an acceleration of technological innovations in different sectors. At the same time, our society is transitioning from the era of Big Data towards Hyper Digitization. To help industries prepare for these trends and navigate the post-pandemic world, this year's Taiwan Innotech Expo (TIE 2020) was highlighting the latest smart living technologies that can spark new imaginations. Since its transformation into a global trade show, the TIE continues to draw international attention to Taiwan's strength in R&D and innovation. This year's event showcases how Taiwan stays resilient in face of a global crisis.


The Design Automation Conference to Showcase an AI Hardware Pavilion, Broadening the 2020 Exhibition Lineup

#artificialintelligence

The new Pavilion invites AI hardware innovators to exhibit at DAC in a turnkey solution package SAN FRANCISCO, CA. – February 13, 2020 –The Design Automation Conference (DAC), the premier conference devoted to the design and automation of electronic circuits and systems, will this year showcase a dedicated Pavilion centered on the artificial intelligence (AI) hardware ecosystem. AI hardware is driving the largest wave of chip-design activity in decades. Understanding and harnessing the enormous computational and application potential of AI is fertile ground for new ideas and startup providers. Converting these ideas into working hardware circuits and systems is the core value of design automation, and the major technical focus of 57th DAC. The 57th DAC will be held at Moscone West Center in San Francisco, CA, from July 19-23, 2020.


Smiles beam and walls blush: Architecture meets AI at Microsoft

#artificialintelligence

Redmond, Washington and Ithaca, New York – Jenny Sabin is perched high on a scissor lift, her head poking through an opening of the porous fabric structure that she's struggling to stretch onto the exoskeleton of her installation piece, which is suspended in the airy atrium of building 99 on Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, campus. Momentarily defeated, she pauses and looks up. "It's going to be gorgeous," she says. "It" is a glowing, translucent and ethereal pavilion that Sabin and her Microsoft collaborators describe as both a research tool and a glimpse into a future in which architecture and artificial intelligence merge. "To my knowledge, this installation is the first architectural structure to be driven by artificial intelligence in real time," said Sabin, principal designer at Jenny Sabin Studio in Ithaca, New York, who designed and built the pavilion as part of Microsoft's Artist in Residence program.

A Visit to the Tsukuba Science Exposition

AI Magazine

Computer Corporatiorz of America, Technology Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Abstract Tsukuba Expo '85 is huge, interesting, and fun. The Japanese pavilions are plush and well-organized, and contain some impressive artificial intelligence demonstrations. The U.S. pavilion is an embarrassment. Tsukuba Expo '85 opened on March 17,1985, to enormous publicity. The New York Times reported that "the budget for the fair is more than $2 billion, and individual companies have spent large sums.
