Robotics is an important tool for achieving the SDGs. Workers will be able to focus on decent work and new innovation by improvement of labor productivity using robot, as a result, they can move toward new economic growth.However, there are industries where it is difficult to apply current robotics. For example, agriculture, restaurant, food factory, etc.. The biggest challenge current robotics faces in the industry is how to control elastic and non-uniform object under variable circumstance.
To achieve the challenge, the Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) is researching and developing new robot named SSES(Sensor-rich Soft End-effector System). This blueprint provides basic architecture and software stack for new robot based on SSES.
Project Technical Lead:
Project Objective:
There are difficult field to apply current robots, i.e. Objects with diverse shapes, flexibility, and frictional properties, Uncertain environment etc.
To solve these problems, this BP approachs are enhancement of cognitive ability and manufacturing new mechanical.
We provide the following.
・hardware architecture(multi sensor module platform, robot arm, edge computer)
・software stack（ROS2, NodeRed etc.）

Business driver | Robotics is an important tool for achieving the SDGs. Workers will be able to focus on decent work and new innovation by improvement of labor productivity using robot, as a result, they can move toward new economic growth.However, there are industries where it is difficult to apply current robotics. For example, agriculture, restaurant, food factory, etc.. The biggest challenge current robotics faces in the industry is how to control elastic and non-uniform object under variable circumstance.To apply robotics to any industry easily, this blueprint family develop and provide open software stack which can achieve the challenge. | |
