A demonstration experiment of a robot that moves the office floor on an elevator and transports luggage has started on March 3 at the Japan Post headquarters.
In the future, we will verify whether it can be used in condominiums and the like, and we want to commercialize a delivery mechanism using robots.
Demonstration experiments of the delivery robot began on the 3rd at the headquarters of Japan Post in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
The 80-cm-high two-wheeled robot was developed by an Italian company, and can automatically proceed while grasping the surrounding conditions.
When the robot placed the luggage and entered the destination on the tablet terminal, the robot moved up and down the office floor in conjunction with the elevator system and carried the luggage to the designated location while avoiding people and obstacles.
In this demonstration test, we will use an elevator to check whether the company service can be smoothly transported to a designated place in the office, but in the future we will verify whether it can be used in condominiums etc., and efficiency using robots Want to put a practical delivery mechanism into practical use.
According to Katsunori Hata, Manager of Japan Post Operations Reform Department, "With the shortage of drivers, the issue is how to handle the" last one mile "logistics that ultimately delivers luggage to users. I would like to aim for practical use in combination with it. "
