Japan's first robot remote operator school unmanned express will also be given to you-- ITmedia NEWS

　In December 2021, the "Robot operator School", which trains walking robot operators, opened in the Meibei-cho area, Kurashiro City, Okayama Prefecture. Motorya Group's "Japan Transportation Education Service (JTES)" operation. The company says the school that trains robot remote monitoring operators is the first in Japan. "in Japan, when the population is declining, robots are essential," the company said. We hope to contribute to the development of a society where humans and robots live together.

　A test course at the Robotics School in the Meibei-cho area. Driving smoothly while saying "Please open the road" and "Thank you" are robots that walk at a human walking speed, with a walking speed of "Lacro" (maximum speed of 6 km per hour).

　As long as the operator decides the destination, Laclo can independently judge the steps, ramps, traffic lights, people around, and transport passengers. Because the operator can confirm the surrounding environment on the terminal at hand through the cameras and sensors installed on the robot, it is not necessary to be next to the robot.

　Racro was developed by ZMP (Tokyo), which is engaged in robot manufacturing. It is expected to show its skills in airports, large-scale shopping malls, tourist attractions and travel support for the elderly. In addition, because the road traffic law is classified as an electric wheelchair, it can also be driven on the road (sidewalk).

　In addition to Lacro, the school also introduced an unmanned delivery robot "DeLillo" with almost the same walking speed. You can learn to operate.

　The school was prepared in December 2001 in the "UAV business class factory warehouse" operated by JTES in Meibei-cho area. So far, the company has gained experience in safe driving training and consulting for enterprises and administrative departments.

　Robot operator training lasts for three days. Through learning and practical training, we can learn the knowledge needed for operation and management, and the risk management methods for remote monitoring of self-driving robots.

　The knowledge of the laws and regulations such as the road traffic law and the road transport vehicle law and the knowledge of the planned driving route and fault correspondence can be obtained when the cause of active use of self-driving robots is implemented.

　In the actual technical training, let the school test courses actually drive in Laclo and DeLillo, while watching the monitors while learning the remote monitoring techniques of operation and management.

　"although the development of robots is carried out by manufacturers, our advantage is that we have the knowledge to educate enterprises about the risks and relevant laws that need to be considered in implementation," said Keiji Aoyama, president of JTES.

　Robots have increasing expectations for human movement and transportation. In November 2001, JTES conducted an empirical experiment on the elderly going out shopping on Laclo in Zhenbei-cho area.

　In addition, there is an increase in the use of online shopping, and the express delivery industry will continue to have a chronic manpower shortage. For express delivery robots, there is a high level of concern from enterprises engaged in circulation services. ENEOS, the oil giant, took full advantage of DeLillo in Tokyo this month to conduct empirical experiments on its distribution business through remote monitoring. Cooperate with the family restaurant to deliver the goods to the apartment in the area.

　Aoyama president of JTES said: "Laclo, which can carry people and support shopping, is very popular in aging areas." On the other hand, in populous cities, the demand for unmanned delivery robots like DeLillo will increase. If the career of using robots increases, we need corresponding operators of operation and management, "looking forward to the growth of the school."

　The Meibei-cho area was the hardest hit by torrential rains in western Japan in July 18. On the opening of school in such a disaster area, President Aoyama said: "after the rainstorm, the population flowed out of the area." I want to start a new business and bring health news to the local people. Now we focus on corporate customers, but it would be nice if we could get people interested in robots to come.
