Robotic demonstration of corona disinfection work at Takanawa Gateway Station July 27, 12:39
In order to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection, a demonstration test was conducted at Takanawa Gateway Station on the JR Yamanote Line for the introduction of a robot that automatically disinfects.
JR East aims to introduce a robot that automatically disinfects in order to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection with advanced technology, and a demonstration test was released to the press on the 27th.
There are three types of robots for disinfection work, each equipped with a device that sprays a disinfectant solution, and some also have functions such as cleaning and security using artificial intelligence.
In the demonstration, the robot grasped the shape of the building with multiple sensors and then automatically moved inside the station to disinfect the handrails touched by users.
In addition, in order to reduce human contact, a demonstration experiment of automatic transportation technology was also conducted, and when ice coffee was set on the robot, it was taken to the elevator and delivered to the conference room.
At Takanawa Gateway Station, which opened in March this year, various demonstration experiments using the latest technology with the concept of "Future Station" are being conducted, and JR East has verified the effects of robots, etc. We are aiming to introduce up to.
Isao Sato, General Manager of Technology Innovation Promotion Headquarters of JR East, said, “It is becoming very important to deliver products to customers without disinfection and contact. Robots whose effects have been verified here can be deployed at other stations. I want to continue"
