    Okinawa Industry Association's Experience Event for Children

    Can you beat a robot? The Okinawa Industrial Association (Naha City, Okinawa, 098-859-6191, Chairman Noboru Kohatsu, Chairman of Takunan Iron & Steel) promoted industrial robots through a hands-on event for children. In this game, children faced a cooperative twin-armed robot and arranged 10 pieces in a row. The game started with a nod from the robot's "head," and the children competed for speed with all their might. There have been few cases of robots being introduced in Okinawa, so the youth division of the association held this event at the "Okinawa Industry Festival" exhibition with the aim of promoting the spread of robots and understanding of manufacturing. Kasai Elec (Oguchi-cho, Aichi Prefecture), a system integration company, cooperated in the event. Photo taken on October 26, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

      Forest Sea's long-range wireless terminal "Geochat".

      Forest Sea (Koto-ku, Tokyo) will launch a long-range wireless terminal called "Geochat" this fall to prevent mountain climbers and forestry workers from getting lost. It is capable of two-way communication of up to 200 kilometers in a clear environment with no obstacles. Even when cell phones are out of range, such as in mountainous areas, workers can carry the terminal to send location information and emergency requests. The company is aiming for sales of more than 5 billion yen in the communication terminal business in five years. 920 megahertz (mega means one million) band radio waves with an output of 250 milliwatts will be transmitted over a long distance. It can reach more than 200 kilometers in a clear environment. Three repeaters were able to cover the mountainous area of Hakone, sending text of about 30 characters and location information from the Global Positioning System (GPS).
