And Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.

In this Challenge, by applying the “RHP BEX(100Kg payload)”, a large quadruped robot that can switch between walking and wheeled transportation, we are freeing people from heavy lifting and dangerous work on uneven terrain that previously relied on human power, while also enabling people to perform more creative and higher-order tasks by patrolling and collecting data with the robot. We aim to realize a world in which people can engage in more creative and higher-order work through patrols and data collection by robots. Through these activities, we hope to create a world in which humans and robots coexist, and by creating new value, we hope to contribute to solving various social issues that exist on the earth. In order to realize the aforementioned vision, we are widely seeking partners who share our three Challenges and seek to create new social value.
