Highlight
In addition to facilitating DX in infrastructure, transportation, and manufacturing, Hitachi is also seeking to improve the wellbeing of frontline workers. Meanwhile, the fusion of generative AI and robotics over recent years has prompted interest in the automation of workplace tasks that have been problematic in the past. This led Hitachi to enhance a deep predictive learning model and develop an AI technique for combined learning of both information on robot operations and multimodal information including vision and force-sensing. For the use of imitation learning in which robots learn actions performed by a worker, Hitachi has also demonstrated the utility of a new type of robot it developed that combines an omnidirectional movement mechanism and a dual-arm manipulator.
This article describes how, by extending these robot work capabilities, Hitachi is taking steps to reduce the demands of both dangerous tasks and routine work, while also providing workers with new ways of working that transcend time and place.
