On the 21st, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government started a demonstration experiment of robots that can perform cooking and security tasks at the Takeshiba Passenger Boat Terminal in Minato Ward, Tokyo. The effect of the introduction of seven types of robots, which were selected from the public, will be verified at the 5th Takeshiba Summer Festival, an event held by Tokyu Land Corporation and Kajima Corporation as part of the area management of the Takeshiba district. As part of this effort, they provided the Takeshiba Natsufusu, which provides live music and dining space for local residents and workers in the neighborhood, as a place for the robot demonstration.
