Overview
EMIEW3 (Excellent Mobility and Interactive Existence as Workmate) is a humanoid service robot developed by Hitachi, designed to assist people in public spaces such as airports, train stations, retail stores, and offices. Launched in 2016, EMIEW3 features a compact and lightweight design standing 90 cm tall and weighing 15 kg. It moves smoothly at human walking speed (up to 6 km/h) using a unique four-wheel locomotion system that includes wheels plus smaller casters on each foot for improved balance and maneuverability. The robot is equipped with advanced sensors including a 14-channel microphone array, HD cameras, laser range finders (LiDAR), gyroscopes, and environmental sensors, enabling it to recognize and respond to human voices in Japanese, English, and Chinese. EMIEW3 integrates with a cloud-based robotics IT platform (“remote brain”) for intelligent processing, allowing it to provide real-time customer service, guidance, and information.
