Hitachi EMIEW3
By Hitachi
Historical humanoid service platform for business demonstrations.
EMIEW3 is Hitachi’s humanoid service platform introduced in 2016. The primary announcement describes visitor guidance and information, with language and image processing through a remote robot IT environment. A management system can monitor multiple robots and locations. Hitachi presented the model for demonstrations and joint proof-of-concept projects with business customers. It is therefore a historical example of mobile service robotics, not confirmation of a current product offer. Organizations comparing such projects should consider task definition, connections to information sources and human support. Keep the original context when interpreting figures. Specifications from earlier EMIEW generations or later development platforms are not reused.
