          MEMO Technos' collaborative robot "Loux Pro".

          The robot for the work section can be changed according to the user's specifications. The company aims to receive orders for 10 systems a year. The size of the robot is approximately 795 mm (width), 1405 mm (height) and 710 mm (depth). It weighs 230 kilograms. It has a payload of 15 kilograms. On a full charge, the arm part can operate for one hour and the mobile part for 13 hours. The robot can move without any track or markings and automatically connects to the charging device when needed. The twin-armed robot of the working part has a total of seven axes, and teaching work is relatively easy because it has a direct teaching function that teaches movement by holding the arm. Since the robot can work together with a person, it can be used to help pack boxes beside a worker, or to take the place of a worker when a vacancy occurs.

            Fujitsu Advanced Engineering's system for sorting bulk goods

            FUJITSU ADVANCED ENGINEERING LIMITED (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) has developed a system that allows users to remotely control picking robots as if they were playing a game, and to sort bulk goods that are difficult to recognize automatically. The robot's field of vision is displayed on a tablet terminal, and when the user clicks on an item, the robot picks it up and picks it. The company aims to commercialize the system in fiscal 2021. The operator clicks on products on a tablet or other device according to instructions. Then, robots in distribution warehouses and factories aim at the click point and suck the suction cup. The system is expected to be used not only by telecommuters but also for light work during hospitalization and cognitive training for the elderly.

                  Uyenotecnica's handling equipment for robots

                  Ueno Technica has developed a handling device for industrial robotsthat can pick up and grasp workpieces with a single unit. It is expected to be used for picking parts in bulk, and the two functions can be used separately according to the weight and size of the workpiece. The company is looking for needs mainly in the automotive industry and aims to put it to practical use as soon as possible. Normally, the pad sticks out at the tip and the fingers are folded. When the finger is used, it is extended and moved toward the tip, and the pad is moved by the linear motion mechanism and stored at the top. The company is a group company of Hirotec Corporation (Saeki Ward, Hiroshima City), which is engaged in the design and manufacture of automotive parts, and will exhibit at the International Robot Exhibition to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 18.

                    NTT's laser beam shaping equipment

                    NTT's laser beam shaping equipment

                    NTT has developed a technology to easily remove rust from narrow or uneven surfaces by irradiating a laser beam shaped by a plate-shaped device using a diffractive optical element (DOE). It also eliminates the need for excessive laser power, making the work safer. The company has been researching the application of its technology for developing parts for optical communication to the maintenance of communication equipment that has many uneven and narrow spaces. The company expects to adopt this technology in the kerening process, which removes rust from telecommunication equipment and exposes the steel surface. They will analyze the laser-irradiated surface and develop an irradiation method that is compatible with painting. Photo taken on November 11, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

                      Thermoelectric power generation module developed by NEDO and NIMS.

                      The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Aisin Seiki, and Ibaraki University announced on April 21 that they have developed a thermoelectric power generation module, which is composed of an alloy of easily available elements such as iron, aluminum, and silicon, and converts temperature differences into electricity. The company has developed a prototype communication device that incorporates the module, and confirmed that it can generate electricity and communicate with a temperature difference of 5 degrees Celsius. The temperature and humidity information was transmitted via Bluetooth, a short-range wireless communication standard, and was successfully displayed in real time on a tablet terminal screen.
