\n TOKYO \u2013 Mira Robotics developed its \u201cugo\u201d robot to reinforce greying Japan\u2019s shrinking workforce, but as the coronavirus threat persists, the Japanese startup is offering its machine as a tool in the fight against the outbreak, the company\u2019s CEO said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coronavirus has created a need for robots because they can reduce direct contact between people,\u201d Ken Matsui told Reuters at his company\u2019s workshop in Kawasaki, near Tokyo. \u201cWe\u2019ve had inquiries from overseas, including from Singapore and France.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest feature of the remote-controlled or so-called avatar robot is a hand attachment that uses ultraviolet light to kill viruses on door handles.<\/p>\n

An unprecedented population decline that is shrinking Japan\u2019s workforce by more than half a million people a year, as well as a reluctance to bring in foreign labor to fill vacant positions, has spurred robot development in Japan.<\/p>\n

The emergence of coronavirus-related demand could further that work.<\/p>\n

Mira Robotics\u2019 Ugo is a pair of height-adjustable robotic arms mounted on wheels, operated remotely through a wireless connection with a laptop and game<\/a> controller. A range-measuring laser mounted on the base helps it navigate, while a panel at the top displays eyes to give it a friendlier app<\/a>earance.<\/p>\n

It takes around 30 minutes to learn how to use the robot, with each operator able to control as many as four machines, said Matsui. Ugo which costs around $1,000 a month to rent, can be deployed as a security guard, carry out equipment inspections and clean toilets and other areas in office buildings, he added.<\/p>\n

Matsui\u2019s two-year-old startup so far has only one ugo operating at an office building in Tokyo.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
