Tokyo, March 12, 2013 - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, "Hitachi") today announced the development of a mobility-support robot "ROPITS"*1 equipped with a "specified arbitrary point autonomous pick-up and drop-off function" that can autonomously navigate to a point specified by a portable information terminal. The "specified arbitrary point autonomous pick-up and drop-off function" enables autonomous locomotion to a specified arbitrary point identified on a map on the Reservation/ Operation Screen of a portable information terminal. Using this function, ROPITS is able to autonomously go and pick-up a passenger at any desired pick-up point on a footpath, or deliver a passenger to a specified arbitrary destination.

OMG, I am loving it so cool and slick dang I want this hehe. But in my country, if it would be on the road it might grab the attention of everyone :P XD
This looks like what I need for my fieldwork but I'm not sure it's durable enough for such task. Quite a nice innovation, I must admit.
It's like a more luxury version of an electric scooter. You can avoid the harsh weather and pollution to a significant degree and it is self-driving. I can see a great opportunity for a 2 seat and even 4-5 seat version having a good utility.
Amazing find. Smart is size, sleek design great for mobility of people specially during taffic ingestion. Autonomous function made it perfect for kids and old age people. Great hunt

Robotics are quite useful for mankind. They will be able to do everything that people can do very soon. Great hunt.
We see so many robotic products nowadays and Ropits is a great sample for them. Awesome hunt.
I can say it is a state-of-the-art vehicle. Its small size will minimize parking and traffic problems in the city. You can also move the vehicle to the desired position by issuing commands. I can say that it does not have any disadvantage except that it is a single person.
