The conference theme "FUTURE SOLUTION" and our lecture title echo each other. At a forum that looks at AI from the side of mechanical engineering, we plan to talk about visual inspection from the angle of "controlling how light is applied".

The main Annual Meeting itself will be held from September 6 to 9, 2026, at the Tokai University Shonan Campus.
