We constantly consider how to maximize the real-world experience of being in a remote location. If remote experiences can be enriched by using telepresence robots to look around, move around, and naturally interact with people present at that location.

On the other hand, while witnessing the excitement of the World Cup, I also felt that nothing can compare to the cheers and atmosphere you feel in the stadium, and the experience of sharing that moment with the people around you. I believe that technology is not meant to replace real-life experiences, but rather to deliver those experiences as much as possible to people who cannot be there due to distance or circumstances, and to create a connection with those on the ground.

In this month's featured case study from the head office of Eiwa Shinkin Bank, temi works in conjunction with staff to provide guidance to customers. Furthermore, in a demonstration at Knowledge Capital's "The Lab.", the robot is not being used to replace humans, but rather as a catalyst for creating conversations and encounters between people.

In all of these initiatives, the goal is not to reduce the number of people using robots, but rather to support human communication and enrich the experiences that arise in the moment. This is precisely the kind of technology that iPresence has been striving for.

The new desktop AI telepresence robot, "kubi 2.0," is finally entering the final stages of mass production preparations for its launch. After a long development period following the announcement of the discontinuation of the previous model, the day is finally approaching when we can deliver this domestically produced robot, originating from Japan, to everyone.

We will be holding remote operation experience sessions in August, and we will continue to recruit trial users. Please come and experience this new remote communication technology ahead of everyone else.
We hope you enjoy iPresence Monthly this month!
