TOKYO -- Convenience store giant Seven-Eleven Japan Co. and other firms showed a demonstration experiment to the media on April 20 where a robot rode an elevator to deliver products from an outlet to those who placed orders inside the building.
The robot is roughly 76 centimeters high, can carry goods weighing up to about 10 kilograms and runs autonomously on wheels. Companies are seeking various ways to distribute products amid the coronavirus pandemic due to high demand for no-contact, no face-to-face interactions with customers.
