Intellectual Capital
On April 1, 2001, Japan’s National Institute of Advanced
Industrial Science and Technology began operations as the “new” AIST.
The new AIST is a research organization that comprises 15 research
institutes previously under the former Agency of Industrial Science and
Technology in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and the
Weights and Measures Training Institute.
AIST is Japan's largest public research organization with research
facilities and more than 3,200 employees across Japan.
The Intelligent Systems Institute of AIST is the home of the scientists who
developed this technology. The Institute operates a number of research
groups to support the technology of this opportunity, as well as to provide
a range of robotic-based solutions to your particular requirement.
For More Information
AIST is seeking to license these technologies and assist with their
commercialization success to qualified organizations.
Consideration will be provided to a range of financial, strategic, and
commercial investment options.
Certain circumstances will warrant consideration for nominal funding from
AIST.
