NTT Communications and ugo Showcase Robo-Inspection at OPEN HUB Park
On April 23rd, a unique demonstration of the ugo mini inspection robot was held at NTT Communications' co-creation facility, OPEN HUB Park in Otemachi, Tokyo. This exciting showcase marks the union of innovative technologies and collaborative efforts aimed at solving pressing societal challenges.
OPEN HUB Park serves as a pioneering hub where diverse contents provided by NTT Communications converge with advanced technologies from partner companies. This vibrant environment encourages exploration and discussion of solutions that span across both real and virtual realms, incorporating elements such as AI and XR technology.
During this exhibition, visitors witnessed firsthand how the ugo mini, connected to a local 5G network, autonomously navigates to designated positions to capture photographic data. The exhibit demonstrated the integration of this data with NTT Comware's image recognition AI, Deeptector. Through this collaboration, the AI analyzes the captured figures and produces detailed reports automatically. This seamless interaction between robotics and advanced AI exemplifies the potential of technology to enhance operational efficiency.
The ugo mini and Deeptector in Action
The focal point of the demonstration was the ugo mini robot, showcasing its ability to conduct inspections effortlessly by moving to specific locations and gathering essential data. This process illustrated how integrating modern robotics with artificial intelligence can revolutionize traditional inspection methodologies, enabling not just automation but also significant enhancements in accuracy and reporting speed.
Deeptector operates as a powerful tool that acts in tandem with the ugo mini, providing necessary analysis that can be utilized in various industries. The collaboration between ugo mini and Deeptector highlights a critical moment in the evolution of business operations, particularly in areas facing staff shortages.
What is ugo?
ugo, a hybrid operational DX robot, combines remote control capabilities and AI-driven automation. Designed with flexibility in mind, ugo adapts to diverse operational tasks such as security inspections and guidance, making it an ideal partner in environments with varying operational demands. Rather than serving as a replacement for human labor, ugo aspires to be a collaborative partner, aiding in business continuity, efficiency, and the realization of digital transformation (DX).
Future Prospects
As it moves forward, ugo aims to strengthen its ties with the NTT Group, contributing to sustainable societal development and the resolution of real-world challenges. By harnessing the power of technology, ugo hopes to play a pivotal role in enhancing workplace efficiency and developing innovative solutions tailored to the demands of modern businesses.
