Why did you pick up industrial drones and UGVs?

A society with a declining population has finally arrived, and there is a serious shortage of workers not only in the primary industries of agriculture and fisheries, but also in various industries such as the construction industry. Ensuring the safety of workers is also an issue at sites of serious disasters and construction sites where human work is dangerous.

Therefore, it is now required to improve productivity and create more attractive industries by combining IoT and robot technology, which are making dramatic progress, and AI (artificial intelligence).

Among them, we would like to share our knowledge and ideas about "industrial drones / UGVs", which are attracting a lot of attention, and hope to revitalize the market. , planned.

Drone / UGV advanced company session

Drones, which are expected to play an active role in the future, and UGVs, which are capable of autonomous driving, can be used in their respective industries.

On the day of the event, more than 70 people from various industries, including farmers, construction machinery manufacturers, IoT device manufacturers, and cloud service providers, came to the event, making it a great success. .
