The LIGHBOT guide robot guides persons with visual challenges and elderly visitors to their destination in unfamiliar locations such as hospitals while avoiding obstacles. NSK has experimented and improved its LIGHBOT guide robot, readying it for practical use. This effort was supported by the Kanagawa Prefecture Special Zone for Robotics Industry (the Sagami Area), which promotes the popularization and practical use of life assistance robots, and the Projects for Developing Assistive Products of the Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare of Japan, which aims to assist persons with disabilities to be self-reliant. The Kanagawa Rehabilitation Center (Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture) also provided valuable cooperation. In March 13, 2017, NSK received ISO 13482 certification from the Japan Quality Assurance Organization (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Chairman: Noriaki Kobayashi, hereafter referred to as “JQA”), thereby completing the development process for this product and enabling rental services to start in April.
