The humanoid robot installed at the entrance of the city hall is 1 meter and 60 cm tall and has AI = artificial intelligence developed by a company in the prefecture.
When a visitor to the city hall asks where they want to go by talking to the robot or pressing a button on the chest, the robot shows a map on the monitor with voice guidance.
When asked about the position of the elevator, he said, "I'd like to guide you to the elevator if you like," and said, "Be careful. I'm guiding you to the elevator." I was leading up to.
In addition, there was a function to recognize the opponent's face with the camera and try to assign an age, and to pose and take a commemorative photo, and visitors enjoyed while operating the monitor.
A man in his 70s, who was guided by a robot, said, "I kindly told me where the elevator was. I think it was convenient."
A woman in her thirties said, "If I tried an age-appropriate game, my husband was said to be 24 even though I was 32. It would be fun and popular to try it out."
Mr. Hirotaka Hara of the Fujisawa City Industry and Labor Division said, "Because it is a friendly robot, we want many citizens to use it and feel the robot closer."
The robot will be installed from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm until this month.
