Development and application of “Modular compact mobility”

Garbage collection in Japan is not contactless，and in 2020，a case of COVID-19 infection occurred among garbage collection workers．Therefore，contactless garbage collection is an urgent issue．In Europe，the U.S.，and China， contactless garbage collection has become widespread with arms and loaders，and we surveyed case studies．We also found that the robotics industry is also tending to enter the garbage collection market．In order to implement contactless garbage collection using Modular Compact Mobility (MCM)，we first developed a scenario and then applied it to a city to create a demonstration model．By using this model to propose contactless garbage collection to another city，we were able to extract communities with needs for contactless garbage collection in the form of proposals for demonstration fields.
