Haneda Airport unveils “Robot Experiment Project 2016”

Haneda Robotics Lab will be launching the Haneda Airport “Robot Experiment Project 2016” aimed at the accelerated implementation of robot at Haneda Airport. The project will recruit robot technologies focusing on specialised areas to be implemented experimentally inside the airport.

Panel exhibition of the robots selected in “Robot Experiment Project 2016” is held near the clock tower 6 at Haneda Airport Terminal 2.

The aim of the project is to allow a variety of businesses and research organisations to perform effective testing and data gathering within the airport environment. Haneda Airport hopes that this project will help to promote the efficient development of robot technology.

As the airport heads for 2020, there is a general requirement for the further improvement of services and customer satisfaction throughout Japan, and Haneda Airport believes that the use of robot technology will be essential in the future. Therefore, the airport has established the Haneda Robotics Labs as part of the Japanese government’s Reform 2020 project, in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as well as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The airport intends to provide opportunities for robot developers to do user tasting, and encourage airport users to feel familiar with robots.
