Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd., Tokai Passenger Railway Company, and Suzuki Motor Corporation have developed a prototype of an equipment inspection robot (hereinafter referred to as "Minervα") that automatically conducts visual inspections to improve the efficiency of inspection and maintenance operations for various mechanical equipment supporting the operation of the superconducting linear train. This robot adopts the software package "@mobi" provided by Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd., making it the first in the railway industry to do so, and it is capable of autonomous movement. It is designed to safely navigate in narrow spaces autonomously. Furthermore, by incorporating robotic arm control functions and automatic charging capabilities, it automates the visual inspection process. In the future, it is expected that the equipment inspection robot will be deployed along the Linear Chuo Shinkansen line to conduct visual inspections automatically, thereby reducing the time, effort, and burden associated with personnel traveling to the site for inspections.

At the "Robot & Mobility Station" of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, a demonstration of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) equipped with our autonomous navigation software "@mobi" was featured in the industry magazine "Robot Digest." Even in the bustling expo venue with many visitors, it achieved stable navigation without collisions with people. The article highlights the feature that "@mobi's self-positioning function makes it less likely to get lost." The exhibition showcased how "robots can autonomously navigate within the flow of people," allowing many attendees to witness its capabilities firsthand.

From December 3 (Wednesday) to December 6 (Saturday), we will be showcasing Panasonic Advanced Technology's innovative technologies and products at the "2025 International Robot Exhibition (iREX2025)" held at Tokyo Big Sight. Under the theme "Key Software & Devices for Autonomous Mobile Robots," we will introduce software and devices that accelerate on-site autonomy with a wealth of implementation experience and robust support. We invite you to see our innovative technologies and products firsthand and experience future solutions. We sincerely look forward to your visit. In this exhibition, we will introduce the following solutions: 【New Version】@mobi – Software package for autonomous mobile robots, enabling "autonomous mobile robots" in a short period. 【New Release】@seguro wes – Functionally safe wireless emergency stop device, balancing wireless functionality and safety. 【New Product】@mapper – Easy point cloud acquisition device, realizing visualization of on-site 3D space. 【Exhibition Booth Information】 Panasonic Holdings (East Hall 7, Booth Number: E7-34)

Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. will launch a new product, "Relay Device: Integrated (AT-SW2P1) / Separate (AT-SW2P2)," as part of its wireless emergency stop device series "@seguro wes" that complies with functional safety standards in early July 2025. This product ensures reliable transmission of emergency stop signals in environments where wireless communication is difficult or in extensive work sites. As a result, it significantly enhances safety and reliability in a variety of settings such as factories, warehouses, and construction sites. We can also provide sample units for free, allowing you to verify communication distance and usability in advance. Please feel free to contact us. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Expands communication area and eliminates "blind spots" ■ Improves communication stability and reduces the risk of malfunction ■ Breaks through the barriers of communication distance
