OEDO Dynamics Inc.

CEO

Speaker Profile

Inspired by the Pit Droids in STAR WARS during his childhood, he aspired to become a robotics engineer. After attending Kyushu Institute of Technology and the University of Tsukuba, he jumped into the construction machinery industry with the desire to apply robotics technology to the automation of construction equipment. In July 2023, he founded OEDO Dynamics. His hobbies include playing the clarinet and swimming.

Company Overview

We develop and sell the OEDO Controller, OEDO Remote Deck, and OEDO Auto Deck systems, which add remote control and autonomous driving capabilities as retrofits to construction machinery. The OEDO Controller (OEDO Kontorōra) is a retrofit attachment for construction machinery that supports the remote operation of approximately 93% of the machinery on the market, regardless of whether they use hydraulic or electrical control. It is easy to attach and detach, making it suitable for installation on rental construction equipment. The OEDO Remote Deck (OEDO Rimōto Dekku) is a communication and operating system for remotely controlling construction machinery. It supports both short-distance remote control via radio control and ultra-long-distance remote control using network communication. A key element of ultra-long-distance operation is video latency, which is maintained between 0.08 to 0.2 seconds even between Japan and Brazil, allowing operators to perform wireless operations without feeling any discomfort. The system is compatible with various wireless environments, including standard Mesh Wi-Fi, Pocket Wi-Fi, Starlink, and 4G/5G lines, and the low latency remains consistent across all these environments. The OEDO Auto Deck (OEDO Ōto Dekku) is a retrofit device for the autonomous operation of construction machinery. It integrates with the retrofit control systems, "OEDO Controller" and "OEDO Remote Deck," to enable autonomous driving by acquiring external information (such as IMU and GPS) and performing object recognition (via 3D LiDAR scanning). This makes it possible for a single person to operate and manage two or more construction machines simultaneously.
