Saitama Institute of Technology's demonstration experiment with self-driving school buses

A monitor will be installed inside the bus to display the results of analysis of data acquired by the high-function sensor riders and other devices. At the departure ceremony held on the same day, Fukaya Mayor Susumu Kojima touched on Shibusawa Eiichi, who will be the main character in NHK's historical drama series in 2009, saying, "It takes about 10 minutes to walk between the Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Museum in the city and 'Naka no Ie' (his birthplace). I want to run an automatic bus next year," he said. (= December 23, 2019, photo location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

    Demonstration experiment of walking guidance by a cane-type robot with wheels at Osaka City University

    When the user walks holding the staff part, the robot automatically steers the wheels and guides the user to the destination. A feature of the robot is that it does not have an autonomous movement function, so that users can feel as if they are walking by themselves. This time, a function has been added that allows users to set their destinations by holding up their cards. However, as it was found to be difficult to use during the verification experiment, Mr. Imazu intends to improve this function, saying, "We would like to consider other methods, including voice recognition technology. A crowdfunding campaign is currently underway until the evening of the 26th in order to put the system into practical use as soon as possible. The target amount is set at 2 million yen. The funds raised will be used to develop charging facilities and waterproof exteriors.

      Automated driving demonstration operation in Oita City (right)

      The city of Oita will operate an automated low-speed electric small bus for citizens in the center of the city until March 20 (photo). The buses will be operated automatically, equivalent to "Level 2," with a driver on board and an automatic driving system to assist with steering correction and speed adjustment. The buses will be in operation from 10:00 to 16:15. Rides will be accepted at the drop-off and pick-up points on a first-come, first-served basis. Since the previous experiment, a new system for automatically changing lanes and other features have been added. The city is also planning to operate an automated vehicle in the city center during the Rugby World Cup in October.
