I would like to dedicate this episode to the people that use ROS to develop autonomous robots that (will) move around us in our streets, together with us, humans, doing some useful tasks.

Today we’re going to learn about such an amazing company that has succeeded worldwide using robots in different situations. We are going to learn about some of the projects they are conducting in Tokyo and how to get a bottle of water from a shop to the office without going yourself.

But before going into the meat, let me tell you that in case you still believe ROS is a good path for you, you can learn ROS2 with The Construct. We provide self-led trainings based on robot simulations and remote real robots. You follow our lessons using your web browser and practice from minute one with the simulated robots. Also, as you advance the lesson, you will practice with real robots located in Barcelona. They are available 24/7 for you to remotely connect to them and do your practice.

Have a look at our webpage about the different subjects you can learn on ROS1 and ROS2 and start practicing with robots from minute one with The Construct. Now let’s go to the meat of the episode.

Now let me introduce you Tomohiko Furutani. Tomohiko-san is the manager of the AI Robot development section of Softbank. Welcome to the podcast Tomohiko-san!
