Robots will deliver sushi in the near future

Start of the world's first demonstration experiment where robots deliver sushi
An experiment to deliver sushi using a robot that runs on the sidewalk at a maximum speed of 6 kilometers was announced from ZMP (* 1), which handles robot development.

Similar attempts using robots and drones are done internationally, and are being promoted in the fields of convenience stores (* 2) in the United States and pizza deliveries in Australia. However, the demonstration experiment targeting sushi is the world's first.

ZMP is planning to start a demonstration experiment with other companies from August, and it has already been decided that RIDE ON EXPRESS, known for the home delivery sushi chain "Gin no Sara", will cooperate.

However, in the Japanese legal system, it is not assumed that the robot will run automatically on the sidewalk, the experiments will be started in a private property. The appearance of Sushi Delivery Robot is likely to be a little bit more about the future.

* 1 ZMP INC. is a robot venture company that manufactures and sells RoboCar series of platforms for next-generation automobiles, sensors & image recognition solutions, universities, research and educational robots for corporate engineers

* 2 7-Eleven (USA) succeeded in delivering products by drone, which automatically flies in the United States for the first time in the US

* 3 Domino’s Pizza Enterprise, the parent company of Domino’s Pizza Japan, announced the "DRU", the so-called "Domino's Robotic Unit", an automatic driving delivery robot. Pizza will be delivered to each household instead of a delivery member, and trial operation has already started in some areas of Australia.
