Japan Conducts First 5G-Enabled Remote Monitoring Robot Delivery Test

 

 

According to a report from Japan's Kyodo News on the 10th, Tier IV, a Japanese autonomous driving software development company headquartered in Nagoya City, recently joined forces with Kawasaki Heavy Industries and telecom operator KDDI to announce that they have conducted tests of autonomous delivery robots in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo.
It is reported that this marks the first time in Japan that a fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication system has been used to remotely monitor a delivery robot on public roads—without any mishaps, such as goods scattering during delivery. According to details provided, testers conducted the relevant trials in early January and mid-February this year, with the delivery robot traveling 300 to 500 meters one way. The testers noted that commercial deployment of delivery robots in limited areas is expected to begin around 2023, while also expressing hope that Japan's relevant laws and regulations will be further refined within this year.
