As a project implementer of the "Technology Development Project for Realizing New Delivery Services Utilizing Automated Traveling Robots" by NEDO, for the first time in Japan, we succeeded in having an automated navigating robot cooperate with traffic lights for an outdoor delivery demonstration experiment.

In this demonstration experiment, we developed an outdoor self-propelled drone (automated navigating robot) and a traffic light cooperation system. The robot can cross an interaction by receiving the signal information from the traffic light, allowing the robot to drive safely on public roads while delivering luggage.

In addition, the demonstration experiment also includes; measuring the luggage temperature change and impact due to the curb during delivery, verifying the effectiveness of robot delivery, and demonstrating the confirmation and the notification function of the robot's current position and destination arrival, respectively, with a smartphone application.
