Patrol work using people and avatars OKI and three other companies
OEC, Japan,Union Security and OKI are aiming to solve the problem of labor shortages in the security industry by reducing the number of patrols and monitoring that were previously performed by humans through collaborative work between humans and avatar robots.
They jointly developed a facility security support service that utilizes autonomous avatar robots.
This system focuses on practical functions, controls inexpensive avatar robots on OKI’s advanced remote operation platform “REMOWAY,” and combines Japan Allied Security’s facility security operation know-how. Provided as a support service.
A feature of the service is that it focuses on practical aspects and extracts methods that can be used with inexpensive avatar robots, without requiring high-performance and multi-functional robots to make large investments.
The goal is to save labor and reduce the amount of work that would normally be done manually, and does not require unmanned operations.
Specifically, they will change the patrolling and monitoring that used to be done manually to collaborative work between humans and avatar robots, reduce the number of human hands while maintaining quality, and expand the value of manual work to other tasks.
