Abstract：

It is non-deniable that the current world has been shaken up hard by this new wave of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and people in the world realized this mostly after AlphaGo has burst its gigantic power in playing chess beating the top-notch chess players from all over the world. Since then, AI has step-by-step steadily changed our life almost in every aspect, and successful evidences have been observed, e.g., in smart manufacturing, smart services, smart finance, and smart medicine, etc. Through analysis of the big data, this new AI tide leads people’s lives to the better stage by leveraging the so-to-speak collective intelligence. As for Robotics, thanks to quick AI development, service robots have become more popularly working in our human living environment, after overcoming all sorts of uncertainties encountered while the robots are serving the humans. Given this new era of human world full of various AI technologies and smart robot agents, it is not surprising that mankind’s life expectancy as well as life quality will be augmented since humans will be constantly guarded within a system of precision medicine, preventive medicine, and social service robots. For example, AI enhanced medical imaging, disease forecast, safe drug prescription, mental healthcare, clinical decision support, and so on and so forth will help people be more aware of their possible health threats in much earlier stage (so as to prevent them) and be treated by far more smart therapeutic measures after their health conditions are threatened (in order to get better cures). For more to come, the elderly will be accompanied and cared by a bunch of smart robot agents even when the supporting younger generation simply become more and more scarce resources. We believe that the futuristic “Society 5.0” proposed by Japan in 2016 can be gradually realized in this new era where mankind will live with health, joy, and prosperity.
