Toshiba AI Technology Catalog

  • Operation plan

Motion planning (picking, route generation)

Developed technologies for planning routes of self-driving cars or motion of robot arms.


  • Reinforcement learning methods enable packing operations by robots with high filling rates.
  • Graph search mehods generate safe and comfortable routes of self-driving cars.
  • Expected to be applied in logistics robots and automatic driving.

Applications



  • Picking robots on automated logistics lines
  • On-board hardware/software for self-driving

Benchmarks, strengths, and track record



  • Received the Outstanding Lecture Award at the 20th Society of Instrument and Control Engineers System Integration Division Symposium.
