See moreA kid was curiously looking into the screen of the signage robot as it moves by itself. At the trial on Hisaya-odori Park (Nagoya, Japan), the “AdRobot” tested its performance in outdoor environment, studying appropriate configuration such as screen brightness under the direct sunlight, or autonomous driving capabilities on incongruous ground. Many people, even dogs accompanied with owners, were interested in the large screen. The robot has a lot of potential for integration into the park information. Besides the challenges faced, the robot could keep working almost the entire day without breaks, allowing for much interaction with the public. (Mar 2024)
