WRS FCSC 2024

This competition aims to reduce the burden of employees by robot technology and realize a future convenience store that provides new services to customers. Participants compete on the following two tasks. The participant who will participate either one of two tasks are also welcome.

１．Stock and Disposal Tasks
　Self-stocking of daily products (onigiri rice ball and bento lunch boxes, etc.) and disposing expired products.

２．Convenience Store Innovation Task
　Proposals and demonstrations of solutions and services that use digital twins and big data to create the convenience store of the future.

Participants in this competition will develop a robot system that autonomously moves and performs these tasks, as well as the infrastructure they deem necessary to install inside the convenience store. In this challenge, the participants will use their developed robots and infrastructure to demonstrate and compete in these tasks inside a simulated convenience store.
