On behalf of Team NAIST-RITS-Panasonic, I am very happy to announce that we have obtained the 1st Place in the Restock & Disposal Task in the World Robot Summit’s Future Convenience Store Challenge (FCSC). We are proud to have had the honor to represent two Japanese universities and a world-class company in this international robotics competition, as one of five contending teams. We would like to thank the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) for supporting these competitions through the years, which have brought us countless valuable experiences. I have had the honor to lead our team to the third consecutive victory, which could not be possible without the valuable contributions and active cooperation of NAIST, Ritsumeikan University (RITS), and the Robotics Hub of Panasonic Corporation. Finally, we would like to sincerely express our deepest gratitude to Professor Ogasawara (NAIST) for his constant guidance and support during the 6-year history of the team, as well as to Professor Taniguchi (RITS) and Professor Wada (NAIST) for their support in this endeavor.
