GRP collaborates with the Signature Pavilion "Future of Life" at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai

The Guardian Robot Project is collaborating with the Signature Pavilion "Future of Life," produced by Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, a leading expert in robotics from Osaka University.
Two robots developed by the Guardian Robot Project will introduce the Expo and the pavilion through interactive dialogue. These robots are designed to recognize their surroundings and engage in conversations appropriate to the situation.

The exterior design of these robots, “aiai,” was created by Mr. Tatsuya Matsui, who was responsible for the co-creation of the concept of “Mahoroba,” a vision of life 1,000 years in the future, as well as the design and supervision of the androids and robots for the Signature Pavilion “Future of Life.”
