Experience RoboPin's Synchronized Movements and Basketball Vibrations—Sports/Entertainment Area

In the Robot Signage corner, customers could see the synchronized actions of nine RoboPin robots, Fujitsu's mediator robots. The demo allowed customers to actually manipulate the RoboPins themselves. These robots trace the movements of a person who is wearing a device, and then move together. RoboPin can bend and move its arms freely. Use of VR technology enables RoboPin to move in a more lively way. RoboPin usage scenarios at convenience stores and tourist spots were also introduced.

The Digital Sports Solutions corner showed Sports Sensing AI, Sports Digital Marketing, and other solutions. During a demo in the corner to experience a sporting event held in a remote location with a greater sense of reality, customers could feel the sounds and vibrations caused by a bouncing basketball. The corner also presented 3D space simulation technology using 3D sensors, a number of navigation services using smartphones, and other technologies.

Work Style Innovation Achieved by Integrating a System, ICT & Facilities, and Reforms of Awareness and Actions

PFU Smart Capture Service

In the Work Style Innovation area, Fujitsu showcased solutions to achieve ideal work styles based on the knowledge that Fujitsu Group has obtained through its internal practices.

Fujitsu employees have various working patterns: working at home due to the need to care for someone, working shorter hours due to childcare, and working frequently outside the office as sales representatives. Fujitsu's telework and satellite office initiatives using thin clients, file sharing services, and mobile services to accommodate such employees were introduced.

At the “Automatic Entry of Paper Documents using AI-OCR and RPA” corner, Fujitsu exhibited its "PFU Smart Capture Service," which is a cloud service whereby paper documents and forms generated during operations are sorted and scanned to automatically enter required information into business systems. It is also possible to automatically extract text for editing and correction. The service also features functionality that employs AI technology to learn correction results for form definitions. In collaboration with the RPA service, this service reduces the time by half compared to manual entry.

Cyber Security Measures that Must Be Taken for Business Growth

A secure environment is needed to protect against the impact of cyber attacks on business. Under the theme of security that supports connected services, this area presented Fujitsu's security solutions that are used around the world.

In the Protecting Important Company Data against Cyber Attackers corner, security management services implemented on behalf of customers were presented. One such service is a monitoring and operation service that uses Cybereason EDR. Cybereason EDR detects cyber attacks that antivirus products used as security measures for computers and end points have failed to defend against. Another service exhibited in the corner utilizes IntSights Cyber Intelligence, which can collect threat information on the dark web used by attackers to exchange information that is difficult for ordinary people to access.

Contributing to the SDGs with Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Autonomous Driving, and Mobility Services

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted at the 2015 UN summit. Fujitsu is committed to contributing to society's sustainability through ICT.

At the forum, a simulation using AI and a supercomputer was presented as an example of disaster prevention and mitigation technology. A joint project with the local government to reduce the damage caused by tsunami visualizes the movements of refugees in a densely populated coastal area. The project employs highly accurate modeling based on actual tsunami damage situations.

In the Fujitsu Mobility Solution for Sustainable Society corner, an ultra-small four-wheel electric vehicle, was exhibited. Fujitsu presented its "Battery Cloud Service," which collects and provides data in real time on the deterioration status and replacement booking information for the detachable battery installed in this electric car. This service, which uses Fujitsu AI technology Zinrai, will launch in December 2018 when the car is released in Thailand. In the future, Fujitsu plans to add electric mileage functionality that estimates the distance to empty.
