About Model-T

Model-T was a 22-degree-of-freedom remote-manipulation robot developed for convenience-store restocking. Its mobile body and specialised suction-and-gripper hand allowed an operator to handle bottles and other products inside existing store layouts without rebuilding the shelving or stockroom.

A VR cockpit transmitted camera imagery with end-to-end latency targeted around 50 milliseconds and mapped the operator’s movement onto the robot. FamilyMart and Lawson trials tested remote shelf replenishment and the wider augmented-workforce model in 2020. Telexistence subsequently discontinued Model-T and transferred its retail automation work into TX SCARA and later generations using greater autonomous control.
