              If a human pushes the robot by hand for the first time, it will memorize the map and route, and from the second time on, it will move autonomously. The system can be used efficiently in shopping and office buildings, for example, by setting the start time of work, cleaning early in the morning when there are fewer people, providing information during the day, and providing security at night. The robot is equipped with a laser sensor and an ultrasonic sensor, and can take evasive action when it detects a person in the passage. If a security guard sees a suspicious person while guarding a building, he or she can ask the person through the robot's speaker microphone, "Can I help you? through the robot's speaker microphone.

The company has expanded its sales channels, and the general public has come to see the product in stores. "In addition to conventional customers, inquiries come from many fields, such as home care," he said, raising a happy cry.

                  Hokuriku Electric Power's "Assist Arm" robot for power distribution work

                  Hokuriku Electric Power Company has completed the development of the "Assist Arm" (photo), a robot for power distribution work, and has begun deploying it. The robot will assist in the construction work, which used to be done by two people in a high-altitude work truck, enabling the work to be done by one person. This is the first time such a robot has been used in Japan. The company plans to adopt 10 more robots, including those of group companies, by the end of fiscal year 2019. The robots will be used for the most frequent part of the power distribution work, the wire separator work. In the past, high-voltage wires were cut and the cut wires were connected to each other with a temporary equipment called a wire separator by lifting a stick-shaped tool weighing about 10 kilograms. The robot will be able to cut wires and grab objects with an arm that can move in six axes with a single control grip, saving labor.
