From October 1, 2021 (Friday), we will be exhibiting NEXTAGE at the Kyushu Robot Center in Saga Prefecture for a limited time. NEXTAGE has been introduced to production sites in various industries across more than 100 companies in Japan, and we have received many requests from people in the Kansai and Kyushu regions expressing their desire to see NEXTAGE in action. Therefore, we have decided to borrow a space at the "Kyushu Robot Center," operated by Gosei Industrial Machinery Co., Ltd., to hold an exhibition and demonstration of "NEXTAGE." During the exhibition period, we will conduct demonstrations utilizing the image recognition capabilities that are a feature of NEXTAGE, so we invite you to come and see it! ■ Exhibition Overview Exhibition Period: October 1, 2021 – *Please inquire about the end date of the exhibition.

"NEXTAGE Mobile" is a mobile robot that enables autonomous movement of the humanoid robot NEXTAGE. While retaining the features of NEXTAGE, it allows for tasks that involve moving between multiple locations and assisting with processes such as water strider operations, further expanding its areas of application. When a person approaches within a certain distance, it slows down and stops, and automatically resumes when the person moves away, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and injuries due to collisions. [Features] - Integration of the all-in-one robot NEXTAGE, equipped with dual arms and cameras, with AGV - Adoption of a position identification method using a head-mounted camera, which is less affected by the environment - Ability to set movement and operations using the same software as NEXTAGE - Compact design that allows entry into narrow paths (compatible with a passage width of 80 cm) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document.
