Tokyo, March 12, 2013 - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, "Hitachi") today announced the development of a mobility-support robot "ROPITS"*1 equipped with a "specified arbitrary point autonomous pick-up and drop-off function" that can autonomously navigate to a point specified by a portable information terminal. The "specified arbitrary point autonomous pick-up and drop-off function" enables autonomous locomotion to a specified arbitrary point identified on a map on the Reservation/ Operation Screen of a portable information terminal. Using this function, ROPITS is able to autonomously go and pick-up a passenger at any desired pick-up point on a footpath, or deliver a passenger to a specified arbitrary destination.

OMG, I am loving it so cool and slick dang I want this hehe. But in my country, if it would be on the road it might grab the attention of everyone :P XD
This looks like what I need for my fieldwork but I'm not sure it's durable enough for such task. Quite a nice innovation, I must admit.
It's like a more luxury version of an electric scooter. You can avoid the harsh weather and pollution to a significant degree and it is self-driving. I can see a great opportunity for a 2 seat and even 4-5 seat version having a good utility.
Amazing find. Smart is size, sleek design great for mobility of people specially during taffic ingestion. Autonomous function made it perfect for kids and old age people. Great hunt
Wao What a great and amazing single seat robotic vehicle. Its looks so beautiful. Overall it looks like a smart electric scooter, it's cabin system that gives users even more security & due ti It's small size so it takes less space in parking. Actually, it will make your trip more fun. Excellent Search
ROPITS is future of transpost what we should ge going to be part of. I know that it will take few years for it to get popularity but overall concept is so cool. Great hunt
Cool robot that providing a very different system.
This is definitely the beginning of the smartest transport solutions which is going to take it to the next level with high-end technology.
ROPITS is small in size, beautifully designed and highly efficient robot which can make mobility more convenient with a unique style and grace. Thanks for sharing his pretty impressive hunt with us.
These type of robots play an important role in transportation system. Would love to check it out.
