Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, has undergone a major renewal of its permanent displays. NOMURA was responsible for the design, interior execution of the new displays "Hello! Robot," "Nanairo Quest," and "Old Age Park."

displays allows visitors to interact with robots and learn about the latest robotics research, allowing them to imagine life with a variety of robots in the future and discover new possibilities.

In the robot area, which was developed for the purpose of human communication and therapy, visitors can enjoy interacting with the robots by touching them and talking to them. In the introduction to the latest in robotics research, the latest research and noteworthy robots are always displays. A wide range of research is introduced through actual robots, which will make visitors say, "Wow, there are robots like this!" and change their previous image of robots.
 

Robot technology will continue to develop and will be used in more and more of our everyday lives. How should we interact with robots to help each person live a happy life?

In this displays, visitors will use a special tablet to explore displays space in order to solve problems that arise in Nanairo City, a futuristic town where humans and robots live together. Through conversations with residents and information about the robots that are active in the town, visitors will come across various ways in which people and robots can interact. At the end, visitors will reach an area where they can freely post their impressions and ideas. By leaving behind their own thoughts and coming into contact with the diverse values left behind by other visitors, visitors may gain new insights.
 

As we enter a super-aging society, how should we deal with "old age"? How can science and technology be used to explore ways of living and aging that are rich and unique to oneself and make that a reality?

This displays begins by providing a hands-on experience of the four aging phenomena that many people are aware of: the eyes, ears, locomotor system, and brain, allowing visitors to experience the aging that comes to everyone. The exhibit introduces options for dealing with aging from the perspective of science and technology, including currently understood mechanisms of aging, ways to deal with aging, and support technologies currently under research and development using robotics and other methods. By learning about the perspectives of life of people who are already facing aging, visitors can explore together with others how to deal with and live a richer life as they age.
