Main product is a cleaning robot for solar panels, which is equipped with fan and brush and can semi-autonomously operate under harsh environment. Target market is the desert area in the Middle East and India, where mega solar plants are operating and rainfall is less. The product has been developed since 2008, and is currently in the leading position among similar robots. They also develop other types of robots to be used for cleaning / inspection etc. for outdoor use, where their expertise in robustness can be best utilized. Year founded: 2004 Capital: JPY 30 million Number of employees: approx. 20
