While water pressure-type water-related cleaning robots are becoming widespread overseas, there are few products that meet the requirements of Japanese building environments and cleaning standards, making it urgent to verify their suitability for the domestic building environment and to establish a sustainable operational system. To address these challenges, Nippon Steel Kowa Real Estate Group, which is committed to advanced building management, JDSC, which promotes the use of AI and data, and SoftBank Robotics, which has expertise in robot operation and remote operation, have agreed to jointly promote demonstrations ranging from verification of cleaning quality and environmental suitability to the design of operational methods by actually operating Loki, which is capable of autonomous water-related cleaning using physical AI, in an office building in Japan, and have started the first demonstration experiment in an office building in Japan.<\/p><p><strong>\u51fa\u5178\uff1a <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000167.000040467.html\"
