On April 25 and 26, 2026, KURONEKO Innovation Fund invested in Yours Technologies (“Yours”), a developer of self-driving robots, to conduct a demonstration test of outdoor driving and mobile vending of Tokyo Six University baseball goods at Meiji Jingu Stadium. The robot was used in a demonstration test of outdoor driving and mobile vending of Tokyo Six University baseball goods at Meiji Jingu Stadium.

This demonstration test was conducted on a partially wet road surface after a rainfall, but the vehicle was able to run stably outdoors without any problems.

■ Providing a new purchasing experience of “purchasing goods while utilizing waiting time

A robot equipped with merchandise drove along the entrance waiting line. This enabled visitors to smoothly purchase merchandise from the robot while waiting in line, creating a new purchasing experience.
