      In-train spraying of antiviral materials by JR West

      West Japan Railway Co. (JR West) has begun anti-viral and anti-bacterial treatment of the entire interior of its trains, with plans to implement the treatment on about 3,600 cars running in the Keihanshin area by the end of September and eventually on all 5,200 cars on conventional lines. The plan is to ensure the safety and security of passengers under with corona. The system uses chemicals that have been confirmed by a third-party organization to be effective against influenza and noroviruses. The effect will last for several years, the company said. The chemicals will be sprayed on windows, seats and other places where passengers may touch them. The number of commuters and other passengers in the Kansai region is gradually returning following the lifting of the state of emergency declared for the new coronavirus infection on March 21.

        A robotic hand developed by OMRON and the University of Tokyo that repeatedly performs precise insertion

        A robotic hand developed by OMRON and the University of Tokyo that repeatedly performs precise insertion

        Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa of the University of Tokyo and Omron have developed a robot hand that can perform precision work by groping at a speed of 1,000 times per second. When the ring hits the end of the cylinder and the angle shifts, the robot adjusts its three fingers to restore the shift. This is a high-speed reproduction of the way a human being searches for the right angle to fit a ring using the senses of his or her fingertips. In the past, even with the use of force sensors, it took time to process, and insertion and removal took 1-2 seconds. In the automation of precision assembly, it is difficult to keep the positional accuracy within 10 micrometers, including robots and jigs. If this can be handled by hand or control, the range of precision work will expand. Photo taken on November 27, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
