Top Robotics companies in Tokyo

“TELEXISTENCE” is a concept that was first proposed in 1980 by Dr. Susumu Tachi, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo and the chairman of TX inc, which refers to the notion of humans being in a place other than where he or she actually exists and being able to act freely in that remote environment – essentially expanding the presence of human beings – as well as the technological systems that make this possible.Our mission at TX inc is to change robotics, change structures, and change the world.テレイグジスタンス(TELEXISTENCE/遠隔存在)とは、TX incの創業者の一人でTX会長でもある東京大学名誉教授 舘暲氏が1980年に世界で初めて提唱した、人間が、自分自身が現存する場所とは異なった場所に実質的に存在し、その場所で自在に行動するという人間の存在拡張の概念であり、また、それを可能とするための技術体系です。 TX incのミッションは、ロボットを変え、構造を変え、世界をかえることです。
