Dissemination of delivery robots for
a vibrant society for all
Cartken Inc. is a robotics company established in Silicon Valley in the U.S. in 2019. It develops autonomous driving robots fully utilizing AI technologies. The company has already established high reputation both in the U.S. and abroad as a BtoB technology provider for its reliability and technological edge. The autonomous delivery robots*1 that Melco Mobility Solutions Corporation is going to launch in Japan are equipped with object detection technologies that utilize sophisticated AI models and algorithms, an autonomous driving ability, and a remote control feature. In addition, the adjustments*2 made specifically to adapt for Japan’s roads have made it legal for the robots to travel on public roads (sidewalks, etc.) as remote-control compact vehicles defined by Japan’s Road Traffic Act.
- “Autonomous delivery robot” is a term that we use to describe an autonomous driving robot used for delivering goods to general consumers, and for other services.
- Robots have to pass tests to conform safety standards set by the Robot Delivery Association. Then, following the registration of the robot with a prefectural public safety commission which has jurisdiction over the roads that the robot is going to travel, the robot will be authorized to operate.

What We Do
- We hold talks with companies that wish to use robot delivery services, with the aim of making arrangements on various requirements.
- We design the robot’s travel routes and drop points that meet the company’s requirements.
When the travel route includes public roads, we will conduct application procedures with prefectural public safety commissions. - We obtain map data around the travel route.
- We install various programs required for the travel of the autonomous delivery robot.
- Once the robot delivery service has taken off, we remotely monitor the operation at all time. In case of any incident, we will respond appropriately, if needed.
