As Christmas approaches, Panasonic Corporation is excited to announce the commencement of its special winter campaign, "NICOBO's Winter Discount," starting November 28, 2025. This initiative aims to make the heartwarming robot, NICOBO, more accessible just in time for the festive season.
NICOBO serves as a gentle companion to families and partners, providing a touch of comfort amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.
