Even Children are Surprised!? The New Mascot of the Tokyo Alvark Debuted

The Frontier Research Center is taking on new challenges from various approaches. This time, we tried to use robotic technology to move Alvark Tokyo's mascot "Rook." The new mascot "Rook Robo" debuted this season (October 15, 2022)^*1 and is happily communicating with customers at games. Please take time to watch the video clip which was featured on the TV program Car & Future^*2 by Aichi Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd.
