Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. and Taisei Corporation will continue to conduct research and development on "the development of SLAM autonomous driving technology for lunar adaptation," stepping up from the F/S to the R&D Stage. This research and development has been adopted as part of the "Space Construction Innovation Project" under the "Space Unmanned Construction Innovative Technology Development Promotion Project" conducted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. To achieve autonomous driving of construction machinery in the lunar environment, where positioning information cannot be obtained from GNSS and other positioning satellites, it is necessary to accurately acquire the position information of construction machinery by other means. Our company has developed and demonstrated self-position estimation technology for construction machinery using LiDAR SLAM technology, enabling autonomous movement of construction machinery in ground uneven environments where positioning satellites cannot be used. In this research and development, we aim to build autonomous driving technology adaptable to special environments like the lunar surface by integrating landmark SLAM technology that utilizes artificial feature points with various information obtained from cameras. Our company will continue to promote further research and development towards establishing technology for achieving autonomous driving of various autonomous mobility, including construction machinery.

From June 4 (Wednesday) to June 6 (Friday), we will be showcasing Panasonic Advanced Technology's innovative technologies and products at the "Total Solution Exhibition for Electronic Devices 2025" held at Tokyo Big Sight. We invite you to see our innovative technologies and products firsthand and experience the solutions of the future. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. has released a new model of the wireless emergency stop device series "@seguro wes" (At Seguro Wes) that complies with functional safety standards, featuring contact transmitters (AT-SW1T1/AT-SW1T2). The receiver compatible with 1:N communication (AT-SW1R1-NZ/AT-SW1R2-NZ) will be launched in late March 2024. @seguro wes is a compact wireless contact transmission device that enables emergency stops from a distance. It complies with the functional safety standard ISO 13849-1 PL d, making it ideal for use in industrial sectors where safety is paramount. With diagnostic functions such as wireless communication interruption monitoring and power supply monitoring, it helps prevent potential dangers even in the event of a failure. Compared to traditional wired devices, it is easier to install and can be used in various locations, leading to cost reductions. Additionally, it can transmit not only emergency stop signals but also three general-purpose I/O signals, allowing for flexible usage tailored to customer systems. By utilizing this product, you can contribute to the implementation of safety measures required by the international standard for automated guided vehicles, "ISO3691-4."

Our autonomous mobile package @mobi features an intuitive operating interface and the ability to easily create AMRs that can be integrated into various robots. We have made significant updates to the following information that many customers have inquired about. ● Introduction Video: We clearly introduce case studies of implementation into various robots and the features of @mobi in a video format. ● Performance Record: We have compiled a list of the hardware such as sensors and motors that @mobi supports. You can access this information from the "Related Links" below, so please take a look.

From September 10 (Tuesday) to 13 (Friday), the "International Logistics Comprehensive Exhibition 2024" will be held at Tokyo Big Sight, where Panasonic Advanced Technology will exhibit its AMR software @mobi at multiple booths. @mobi is software that enables the functionality of autonomous mobile robots and can reduce the development costs of these robots. It can be applied to robots of various shapes, sizes, and drive methods, achieving high-precision control both indoors and outdoors, including on uneven terrain, making it possible to kit for customers' transport carts. 【Exhibition Booths】 ■ IDEC Corporation (Booth No.: East Hall 2, 2-203) https://jp.idec.com/RD/event/logis-tech-tokyo2024 ■ Yamazen Corporation (Booth No.: East Hall 2, 2-205) https://www.yamazen.co.jp/news/entry-2151.html ■ Nabtesco Corporation (Booth No.: East Hall 2, 2-107) https://www.nabtesco.com/news/20240819-15528/

Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. has started selling the functional safety-compliant wireless emergency stop device "@seguro wes" on May 16.
