Panasonic in Numbers: Small and Remote-Controllable Mobilities

Panasonic Holdings Corporation has become the first in Japan* to be granted approval for the simultaneous operation by a single operator of 10 small and remote-controllable mobilities on public roads.

The mobilities, known as “HAKOBO,” integrate automatic delivery robots with a remotely operated system and are designed for use in last-mile delivery, mobile vending, information dissemination, and other business scenarios. HAKOBO were operated in three regions (Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture; and Saga City, Saga Prefecture) during a demonstration experiment. Panasonic has developed an AI function that significantly reduces operator workloads, making it possible for each operator to manage up to 10 robots simultaneously.

Panasonic Group is committed to providing new services that enhance convenience in people’s lives, address labor shortages, and improve working conditions.
