Guidance to Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan
We are pleased to inform you about the ongoing Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, which is being held from April 13th, 2025, to October 13th, 2025. The Expo offers a unique opportunity to experience groundbreaking innovations, cultural exhibitions, and international collaborations. As the conference is taking place in close proximity to the Expo, we highly encourage participants to visit and explore this extraordinary global event. At the Expo, there will be two exciting events related to robotics:
- “Signature Pavilion: Future of Life,“ led by Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro of the University of Osaka, showcasing the cutting-edge android robots and avatars
- “World Robot Summit: Future Convenience Store Challenge“ will take place from July 13th to July 19th, 2025. It is a competition focusing on the development of robots for the future of convenience stores, featuring innovative solutions in robotics and automation.

The 21st IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO 2025) will take place in Blooming Camp, Grand Green Osaka “JAM BASE”, Osaka, Japan, July 17th-19th 2025.
Advanced robots are expected to enter in promising applications in our future society and bring substantial impacts. The increasing implementation of AI-based components even broadens their fields of application. To ensure that these impacts are positively reflected, today, we need to extend views not only on technical aspects but also on social challenges that we might face, which include safety, regulation, ethics, human factors, and philosophy.
The topics of ARSO 2025 include, but are not limited to the following:
- Human-robot interaction in physical & psychological aspects
- Safety standards for advanced robots & autonomous systems
- Legal and ethical issues for advanced robots
- Impact of robotics on society, e.g. robot business, marketing & economic impact
- Robotics for sustainability, climate change or civil aid
- Advanced industrial robots for future manufacturing
- Healthcare & medical applications
- Rehabilitation and transfer robotics
- Service & assistance applications
- Entertainment & education robotics
- Robotics & autonomous driving
- Bio-inspired robotics
- Soft and wearable robotics
Looking forward to your participation in Osaka 2025!
