They visited Uesugi shrine and had a tea ceremony
experience wearing Yukatas. Surrounded by nature, the participants discussed about “Next Generation Robotics” while staying at Mt. Zao, before giving group poster presentations in English. At the group poster presentations, all the participants worked hard to present their ideas.
