OMRON SOCIAL SOLUTIONS' Complex Service Robot

OMRON SOCIAL SOLUTIONS' Complex Service Robot

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.

    NEC's vector-based simulated annealing machine

    NEC is making a full-scale entry into the quantum computing domain. From April to June 2020, the company will launch a co-creation service to solve combinatorial optimization problems, including the use of annealing machines that employ the SX Aurora Tsubasa vector supercomputer. Prior to this, the company will establish a new 20-person Quantum Computing Promotion Office in January 2008 to promote the development of applications and technologies through joint demonstrations with customers. The company plans to invest about 1 billion yen in Canada's D-Wave Systems for collaboration. On the other hand, the quantum annealing system will be based on a domestically developed machine jointly developed with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and D-wave, which will be a collaborative partner. The joint development with AIST is currently verifying the operation of a basic quantum cell. Photo taken on December 20, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

      These cases are stored as a learning database. The robot will be able to respond to the differences between each person and each piece of clothing. The robot is a twin-armed robot with a payload of 2.3 kilograms, and it is a cooperative type, so there is no risk of injury to people even if it bumps into them while working. The placement of a camera that can respond to the sudden movement of a person is an issue, but Professor Shibata says, "In large facilities or places where the changing room can be fixed, such as hospitals, the camera can be installed on the ceiling. They aim to make improvements and put the system to practical use as soon as possible. (= December 20, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

        Ushio Lighting's stereoscopic view with VR

        The development of virtual space (VR) technology for business-to-business (B-to-B) is active. USHIO LIGHTING (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) has developed the world's first system that allows two people to experience stereoscopic vision through VR at the same time. Two major printing companies have released VR systems that are linked to CAD data of houses and condominiums. With the newly developed system, a special program generates a total of four types of images necessary for VR stereoscopic viewing for two people according to the location information grasped by the sensor, and when projected on the wall, floor, or side using three 240 Hz projectors, highly immersive images can be experienced simultaneously from two directions.

          Mitsubishi Estate's Disaster Drill Using Robots

          Mitsubishi Estate conducted a comprehensive disaster drill using security robots for foreign residents at several office buildings in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, including the Otemachi Park Building and Marunouchi Building. The robot is the SQ-2, which was jointly developed by the company and Seac Sense (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), and is capable of autonomous driving. "How can I help you? and so on in English. SQ-2 is 1,300 millimeters tall, weighs 65 kilograms, and is equipped with a proprietary three-dimensional laser sensor, artificial intelligence (AI) functions, a high-resolution camera, and a fisheye camera. Mitsubishi Estate said, "We are increasing the number of English-speaking security guards due to the increase in inbound tourism and the holding of the Olympics, but there is a limit. We want to make up for it by using robots. (Photo taken on August 30, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

            Formont Holdings' Guidance Robot No. 1

            On August 18, Formont Holdings (Ome City, Tokyo) announced the development of "Guidance Robot No. 1" (photo), a pedestrian guidance assistance system that can identify vulnerable people in traffic. After conducting demonstration tests at traffic guidance sites from August onward, the company aims to put the system into practical use by 2020, taking into account the actual shortage of security guards. Induction Robot 1 can be used 24 hours a day as long as there is a power source. In addition to a network camera with image sensors, it is also equipped with motion sensors to prevent guards from missing passersby.

              Picking solution robot that Nippon Express aims to put to practical use

              Nippon Express will commercialize a collaborative picking solutionfor logistics warehouses by the end of fiscal 2019, using robots (photo) from Rapyuta Robotics (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Rapyuta Robotics). The company conducted a demonstration at its own distribution warehouse in June. Another demonstration experiment will be conducted in September with the aim of putting the system into practical use. The Laputa robot is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that assists people in their picking work. The core of the technology is the control and management of multiple robots in accordance with the progress of the work. The robots move along the aisles of the product shelves, show the workers the items to be removed from the shelves, and then transport the removed items. This reduces the range of movement for the worker, leading to reduced workload and time savings. (= July 12, 2019, photo location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

                Pioneer and other companies will proceed with demonstration tests of automated driving services

                Pioneer, Michinori Holdings (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo), and Ibaraki Kotsu (Mito City) will conduct a demonstration experiment of an automated driving service using the 3D-LiDAR (LIDAR) laser scanner sensor on public roads in Hitachiota City, Ibaraki Prefecture until March 21. The experiment will verify that a self-driving bus equipped with the LIDAR sensor can detect people standing on the route and safely board the bus. The sensor will be installed in an automated vehicle provided by Yamaha Motor, which will run a section of approximately 1.8 kilometers. The effectiveness of the LIDAR sensor, which is capable of detecting objects in three dimensions with high resolution, will be verified, and this will lead to the sorting out and resolution of issues for the social implementation of self-driving buses.Image taken on June 22, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images, license plate has been modified.
