With the advancement and sophistication of technologies such as AI and robotics, autonomous-driven research approaches that accelerate the research process itself by the utilization of AI and robotics are becoming a global trend. By going beyond human cognitive limits and cognitive biases, autonomous-driven research systems enable the elucidation of complex phenomena and the opening up of new areas of exploration and have the potential to revolutionize scientific research methodologies. This strategic objective aims to deepen understanding of the scientific discovery process and to foster an environment for the utilization of autonomous-driven research approaches by promoting these research approaches that are not tied to specific fields. It is expected that this will lead to a paradigm shift in the very nature of research activities and to the acceleration of the creation of innovation.
