Panasonic begint demonstratie autonome bezorgrobot HOSPI(R) in ziekenhuis en vliegveld
OSAKA, Japan–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Panasonic Corporation heeft vandaag bekendgemaakt dat het in januari 2017 begint met demonstratieve experimenten met de autonome bezorgrobot HOSPI(R). De proef gebeurt in samenwerking met het Narita International Airport en de ANA Crowne Plaza Narita.
HOSPI(R) is een robot die autonoom goederen kan afleveren. De robot vindt zelf de weg en is zich te allen tijde zich bewust van de omgeving, dankzij voorgeprogrammeerde plattegronden, geavanceerde sensoren en een antibotsing-algoritme. Dit stelt HOSPI(R) in staat artikelen veilig en efficiënt te bezorgen, zonder voorbijgangers of objecten te raken. In tegenstelling tot traditionele aanleveringssystemen hoeft voor HOSPI(R) niets in muren of het plafond te worden geïnstalleerd, noch geleidingstape op de route worden aangebracht. Zo blijft het eenvoudig en goedkoop leveringspunten aan te maken en vestigingen opnieuw in te richten. Als beloning voor deze functies is HOSPI(R) al door vier ziekenhuizen in Japan en andere landen in gebruik genomen de bezorging van medicijnen.

OSAKA, Japan–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Panasonic Corporation today announced that it will begin its demonstration experiments with the Autonomous Delivery Robot, “HOSPI(R),” from mid-January 2017 in cooperation with the Narita International Airport Corporation and the ANA Crowne Plaza Narita. This Smart News Release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170112006179/en/  Demonstration experiments of “HOSPI(R)” begin at an airport and hotel (Photo: Business Wire)HOSPI(R) is a robot that can deliver goods autonomously on behalf of humans. Based on preprogrammed map information and using high performance sensors and advanced collision-avoidance algorithm, the robot can move about while staying aware of its surroundings, enabling it to deliver items safely and efficiently without colliding into passersby or various objects along its route. Unlike traditional delivery systems, equipment does not need to be embedded into the walls or ceilings, and guide tapes do not have to be laid down along the route, so delivery destinations and layout changes to facilities may be easily made and at low cost. Being recognized for these features, the HOSPI(R) has already been adopted by 4 hospitals in Japan and other countries for the delivery of pharmaceuticals and specimens. In the demonstration experiments to be conducted, the robots will be retrieving used dishware in the airport lounge and offering drink service in the hotel lobby. Through these demonstration experiments, Panasonic will be verifying the utility of the HOSPI(R) in performing other types of delivery services and accelerating the commercial development of the HOSPI(R). [Video] Demonstration Experiments of HOSPI(R), the Autonomous Delivery Robot, at an Airport and Hotel Overview of the Demonstration Experiments 1. Drink service. Period: Jan 14 (Sat) – 18 (Wed), 2017 2. Dishware collection. Period: Jan 23 (Mon) – 27 (Fri), 2017 *At the moment, there are no plans to introduce the HOSPI(R) to the Narita International Airport and the ANA Crowne Plaza Narita more permanently. With its personal care robots, Panasonic will help realize a safe, secure, and convenient lifestyle.
