AISAN TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. will collaborate with Rakuten GORA, Rakuten Group's golf course reservation website, on a demonstration project aimed at launching an autonomous golf cart service. The project will be carried out together with Mitsubishi Electric and Energy System Service Japan.
The demonstration project will cover all 18 holes at Tojo Golf Club in Chiba Prefecture, testing autonomous driving from the cart storage area to the front of the clubhouse, cart paths and fairways, as well as the completion of play including travel between locations. Cameras, LiDAR, GPS and other technologies will be used for autonomous driving, and operation over multiple routes is also expected to help reduce damage to the turf.
AISAN TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. will be responsible for creating golf course map data, operating the autonomous driving system and conducting safety evaluations. It will provide technical support toward commercialization by applying its autonomous driving technology.
