[Open Call] Robot Experiment Project for Guidance, Cleaning, and Mobility Support Begins at Haneda Airport
Japan Airport Building Co., Ltd., which operates Haneda Airport's domestic terminal, has established the "Haneda Robotics Lab." It is now accepting applications from September 20th for the first phase of the "Haneda Airport Robot Experiment Project 2016," which will test and introduce robot products at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.
Aimed at contributing to the spread of robot technology in Japanese society, the project seeks to identify technical and regulatory challenges and share insights amid Japan's anticipated decline in its working-age population. The call for robot products, including prototypes, covers the categories of "Guidance," "Mobility Support," and "Cleaning." The application period runs until October 13. Details, including the application guidelines, are available here.
This project has been selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Robot Introduction Demonstration Project." It is being implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as part of the government's "Reform 2020" initiative.
Haneda Airport has previously utilized robots for tasks such as waist-mounted robotic suits for work assistance and floor cleaning operations. With over 75 million annual passengers, the airport serves as an ideal testing ground. It aims to familiarize airport users with robots while showcasing Japan's cutting-edge technology to the world.
