Dear members of Robotics Society of Singapore (RSS),
Good afternoon!
This is Yuichiro Shimaoka, from the City of Osaka Singapore Representative Office (http://www.osakacity.com.sg/).
I would like to introduce to you and your colleagues/research fellows an opportunity of meeting up with companies of Osaka from robot industry to discuss about robotics technology. In the last week of October 2011, we are planning to invite as many as five companies to Singapore to share their robotics technology (including demonstration) with like minded parties including those from government, private sector, and academia. Please refer to the attached file in which you can find a list of potential participants from Osaka and their profiles.
If you are interested in meeting up with them, please kindly let me know. Once the details of their visitation and program is confirmed, I will inform you. I am certain that this will be a great opportunity for all participants to share their excellent knowledge and experience on robotics technology among one another.
Looking forward to receiving a positive response from you.
Sincerely yours,
Yuichiro Shimaoka
