Robovie is an intelligent robot that’s been deployed at a store in Osaka to support the day-to-day running of the store and enforce social distancing and mask-wearing rules among customers. If someone is not wearing a mask or if the distance between the customers in the line is too short, the robot can spot it and approach to tell them about it. To perform its functions, the robot uses a camera and a set of sensors, getting by around the shop with the help of motorized wheels.
