Telexistence Inc. (headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Jin Tomioka / CTO: Charith Fernando; hereinafter “TX Inc”), providing a new cloud-based solution and service for consumers and industries to control robotics and sensing technology, announced today that it was selected as partner company of NVIDIA – the world’s largest GPU maker – in their “Inception program”. TX Inc. will put the NVIDIA Inception program to good use by accelerating research and development of efficient and low-latency image processing algorithms for cameras used in robotics, and for cloud-based machine learning applications of data accumulated from robots and their human operators.
【About NVIDIA Inception program】
Inception nurtures dedicated and exceptional startups who are revolutionizing industries with advances in AI and data science. This virtual accelerator program helps startups during critical stages of product development, prototyping, and deployment.
Every startup gets a custom set of ongoing benefits, from hardware grants and marketing support to training with deep learning experts.
【About Telexistence】
“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 human beings in effect 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. In fact, operator remotely manipulates and controls a robot located in other place with visual, auditory and tactile information the robot has.

登台Global Brain Alliance Forum并获奖
/0 Comments/by yuichiro.hikosakaGlobal Brain Alliance Forum 2017年12月9日于东京六本木之丘召开，TELEXISTENCE株式会社CEO富冈仁先生出席了活动并参与了主题演讲。此外，还获得了约700名观众投票票数第一的最佳人气奖。
Global Brain Alliance Forum是“全球创业公司”和“大公司”的年度聚会活动 ，邀请各行业专家就未来风险市场、经济和技术趋势发表主题演讲和小组讨论。在此次论坛中，富冈仁先生分享了公司对TELEXISTENCE技术的研发成果以及对未来技术和行业发展的影响。
【什么是TELEXISTENCE技术？】
TELEXISTENCE是创建实时操作环境的技术体系总称，使在本地的人类仿佛置身于另一个地域，实现人类不受地理位置限制的技术系统。这是东京大学名誉教授馆暲先生在1980年首次提出的概念，该原理是位于远程的机器人将自身所处环境的视觉、听觉、触觉等信息传送给操作员，操作员根据实时环境操作机器人进行远程工作，该技术可在虚拟旅行、智能仓库、建筑工程、高危或极端工作等行业有非常广阔的运用前景。
