　Currently, building maintenance is the center of business, but I want to be a company that provides new management, saying, "I want to develop new products and new services in the industry through open innovation.Speak.

　Behind the development of the UGO TS Series is a shortage of security industry.The declining birthrate is declining and the working population in Japan is declining.It is said that the decline of 14.28 million people in nearly 20 years will reduce the number of workers of 60,000 a month.Effective job openings in the security industry are 6.It is difficult to adopt 20 times.The deterioration of the phenomenon and working environment of the worker has led to a decrease in operational quality, and the opportunity to grow is being lost.

　In such a severe situation, Taisei Co., Ltd. worked out with UGO Corporation and promoted "Creating a new industry coexisting between robots and people".The aim is to eliminate labor shortages by replacing the patrols and patrols that the guards usually do with a robot.

　As a DX business, we have developed a platform system "T-SPIDER" that can centrally manage security operations as well as UGO.Through "T-SPIDER", it will be linked with many robot system sensors, etc., allowing remote control.In the future, the aim is to collect and unify information that were difficult in the security industry, and aim to "visualize" information.

Aim for hybrids for people and robots

　 Next, with UGO Co., Ltd. CEO CEO Ken Matsui, the UGO TS series "UGO" will be on stage.

　As a background of joint development with UGO Corporation, Mr. Kato said, "Robots are difficult to move vertically. UGO robots can be operated with two arms and elevators can get on and off. Vertical movement is possible.What has become a big innovation. "He has made a business development and a capital tie -up, and has been jointly developing over the years.

　UGO's development concept is "fusion of people and robots" as the name suggests."It is a tool that expands human abilities, rather than depriving people's work," emphasizes Matsui."I would like to use AI to automate repeated work by using AI as well as remote control, and use technology to embody it as a new model in Japan that declines population."He told the future prospects.

　Taisei will use UGO for security operations in the future."I want to spread UGOs with many security companies and buildings as well as my company. Within 5 years, I want to build a world where people and robots can manage all facilities. If remotely can be done.In the security industry, it will also create employment for those who were difficult to hire. "
