Abstract
"Where future robots should go and should not go?" and "What is an adequate style of collaboration between human and robots?" These are really interesting questions for discussing the future direction of robot. It is important to know that current robot technologies have already exceeded human capability in some particular functions, such as sensing speed and actuation speed, while human are even more sophisticated than robots in global sense. Under these circumstances, we try to provide our personal views for these questions, particularly focusing on manipulation fields, by reviewing our former works and by exploring success examples of robot business.
