The latest Japanese development of remote control technology for heavy construction equipment was presented during a presentation attended by Maryna Denysiuk, Deputy Minister of Community and Territorial Development.

According to Denysiuk, this technology will allow restoring infrastructure in difficult or dangerous conditions and minimize physical risks for workers.

"Operators can work literally from any place where the cab is equipped. This is important for work in the regions that have suffered the most from the destruction – during debris removal, demining, restoration of roads, bridges, housing and social infrastructure," Denysiuk emphasized.

In addition, new technologies open up the possibility of creating jobs for veterans, people with disabilities, and mothers on maternity leave who can work remotely.

The Minister emphasized that the introduction of innovative technologies requires comprehensive work: it is necessary to adapt the regulatory framework, train specialists and ensure cooperation between the state, business and science.

The meeting also discussed preparations for the Second JUPITeR Public-Private Mission and the selection of companies that will visit Ukraine next March.

  • On August 4, Tokyo hosted the first Ukrainian-Japanese forum on promoting Ukraine's economic recovery, during which the parties signed 29 agreements about cooperation.
