                On April 15, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike requested the cooperation of Tokyo residents and businesses in accordance with the Act on Special Measures against the New Coronavirus, after an expert panel raised the status of the new coronavirus infection in Tokyo to the most serious of four evaluation levels. Governor Koike said, "The metropolitan government is in a state of 'infection spread alert,'" and called on people to refrain from going out of the city and avoid using stores in downtown areas at night without adequate infection control measures. As for the government's "GoTo Travel" tourism promotion plan, which is scheduled to be launched on March 22, he said, "In light of the current infection situation, I hope (the government) will carefully reconsider the timing and method of implementation.

                    Marble running autonomously (left) and Effibot following it.

                    The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) conducted a demonstration test of a transportation robot on the Marunouchi Building grounds in Marunouchi, Tokyo. The effectiveness of the robots was verified as a solution to the social issues facing the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, such as labor shortages and the burden of transportation work. The event was designed for the last mile in logistics. The robots, "Marble" and "Effibot" provided by Up Quality (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), were used to transport the cargo from the unloading point to a sales store about 100 meters away. Marble went to the destination autonomously, and Effibot, loaded with farm products, followed Marble. In an environment where an unspecified number of people come and go, we verified issues for practical use, such as safety and stability. This demonstration experiment is the third phase of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "Tokyo Robot Collection" project.
