autonomous mobile robot

We are developing measures to solve the problem of litter drifting ashore, which has become an increasingly prominent social issue in recent years, using robots, AI, and IT technology. Although volunteers regularly pick up trash around the World Heritage sites in Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture, it is difficult to transport large fishing equipment by hand over long distances because it has washed ashore. We propose a collaborative effort between people and robots, whereby people pick up trash and robots transport it to collection points. We are also developing a service to manage images of trash and the amount of trash deposited for analysis of trash types and recycling after collection. We are developing and working to sustain coastal cleanups and achieve the goals of the SDGs.
