Create networks!We have open houses every year to give the public the opportunity to learn about our research activities and about how we strive to make them useful to society. In FY2011, we had an open house in nine AIST research bases across the country. The events held include hands-on exhibits representing the characteristics of each regional research base and facility tours. The children were wowed by the therapeutic robot “Paro” and the mini-humanoid HRP-2m “Choromet”. Both the children and adults were enthusiastically making bead straps that change color with ultraviolet light and kaleidoscopes using polarizing films. The open house attracted about 15,000 people in total for all venues, exceeding the last year’s figure.On November 17, 2011 at AIST Kyushu and the Tosu Cultural Center, this event was held as an opportunity to introduce the latest technology and information on the latest research activities to the individuals and organizations involved, such as local enterprises and business support organizations. The event was hosted by AIST Kyushu, Kyushu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry, prefectural research institutes in the Kyushu and Okinawa areas, and Kyushu Innovation Creative Collaboration.
