              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.

The service will first be offered in Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture, and is expected to be used by several hundred people in the first year. The service will be available at the city office. The terminals will be distributed mainly in the form of magnetic clips that can be wrapped around a staff or attached to shoes. The monthly fee for the service is expected to be several hundred yen.
