Nissan Adds Child-Monitoring Function to Robot
Tokyo, Sept. 4 (Jiji Press)--Japan's Nissan Motor Co. said Wednesday that it has added a function to prevent children from being left in vehicles to a robot it jointly developed with baby goods retailer Akachan Honpo Co.
With the new monitoring function, the "iruyo" puppet robot will alert users via smartphone when the distance between them and the robot exceeds around 3 meters while one or more children are left in a car. Nissan will consider commercializing the robot.
