<Neo's original mapping function>
1. Easy mapping work without special skills
Since maps are created using LiDAR and 3D cameras, the work to be carried out is a simple work that anyone can do just by walking around the perimeter of the facility.

2. No on-site work required for layout changes
Since the robot does not memorize the route operated by a human, it designs the route by itself based on the map information. No action required.
