Closer was selected for the 'FY 2019 Tsukuba Society 5.0 Social Implementation Trial Support Project' organized by Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and is conducting demonstration experiments to build a social implementation model for food and beverage automation.

On Thursday, November 26, we held the first trial at the Tsukuba Innovation Plaza. Using Closer's simple, low-cost robotic arm, we provided coffee and lemonade fully automatically through a kiosk-type vending machine called 'Closer Cafe.' The prototype was unveiled from an early stage, and we are developing it with extensive feedback. We plan to conduct several trials within the project period.
