When a building resident wants to send mail or parcels, this robot will call the distribution center in the building and come to the office to pick it up.

According to Japan Post, the client is often absent in the collection and delivery work, so it is expected that the efficiency of the work can be further improved by entrusting it to robots instead of people. Regarding self-driving delivery robots, the procedures for running on public roads will be relaxed by the spring of 2023, and not only Japan Post but also online shopping companies such as the Rakuten Group will put it into practical use.
