Robotics Mobility, PiiMo, used in Public area

PiiMo, a robotic mobility system with a follow-up driving function, has been developed by Panasonic. It has been tested in many places such as airports and train stations, and is expected to be used in a variety of places in the future.

The PiiMo is capable of following multiple vehicles stably due to its high performance in follow-up driving. In addition, the PiiMo is equipped with the world’s first certified functional safety module, which ensures safety even in crowded public spaces.
