We released the handheld 3D laser scanner "@mapper" on February 24, 2026, which can be used by anyone. The @mapper is a device that utilizes the SLAM technology developed through our autonomous mobile robot research, enabling high-precision 3D scanning with minimal blur and distortion, even without specialized knowledge. *SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a technology that allows machines or robots to estimate their current position while simultaneously creating a map of their surroundings using sensor information. ■ Easy Operation Equipped with our uniquely developed SLAM technology honed through autonomous movement on uneven terrain. It is resistant to vibrations, allowing even beginners to obtain stable scanning results without the need for expertise in surveying or 3D point clouds. ■ Wide Area Scanning Scanning is possible simply by walking around. The maximum reachable distance is 60m. It can measure large areas such as high-rise buildings and large factories in a short time. ■ On-Site Completion The acquired data is converted into a 3D point cloud in real-time. No post-processing is required, and it can be saved directly to a USB memory stick on-site. Since the measurement can be completed with just the on-site work, there is no need for revisits or additional measurements.

Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd., Tokai Passenger Railway Company, and Suzuki Motor Corporation have developed a prototype of an equipment inspection robot (hereinafter referred to as "Minervα") that automatically conducts visual inspections to improve the efficiency of inspection and maintenance operations for various mechanical equipment supporting the operation of the superconducting linear train. This robot adopts the software package "@mobi" provided by Panasonic Advanced Technology Co., Ltd., making it the first in the railway industry to do so, and it is capable of autonomous movement. It is designed to safely navigate in narrow spaces autonomously. Furthermore, by incorporating robotic arm control functions and automatic charging capabilities, it automates the visual inspection process. In the future, it is expected that the equipment inspection robot will be deployed along the Linear Chuo Shinkansen line to conduct visual inspections automatically, thereby reducing the time, effort, and burden associated with personnel traveling to the site for inspections.

At the "Robot & Mobility Station" of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, a demonstration of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) equipped with our autonomous navigation software "@mobi" was featured in the industry magazine "Robot Digest." Even in the bustling expo venue with many visitors, it achieved stable navigation without collisions with people. The article highlights the feature that "@mobi's self-positioning function makes it less likely to get lost." The exhibition showcased how "robots can autonomously navigate within the flow of people," allowing many attendees to witness its capabilities firsthand.

Please feel free to contact us. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Expands communication area and eliminates "blind spots" ■ Improves communication stability and reduces the risk of malfunction ■ Breaks through the barriers of communication distance

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.
