      Station-side robot demonstration experiment started by Connected Robotics and others

      On the 16th, Connected Robotics (Koganei City, Tokyo), in collaboration with JR East Startup (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo) and Nippon Restaurant Enterprise (Taito Ward, Tokyo), began a demonstration experiment of an "ekisoba (buckwheat noodle) robot" at a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant in JR Higashi Koganei Station. The aim of the experiment is to verify the practicality of the robot in actual shops, and to introduce it to other shops in the future and automate the entire operation. The boiling machine and sink were also custom-made to fit the robot. In the future, the company hopes to increase the processing capacity of the robot and introduce it at stores with a large number of customers, such as Shinjuku and Kanda in Tokyo.
