Compact Door Closing Robot

Small robots are compact and can perform a variety of tasks. For example, they can investigate in tight spaces, handle small parts, and transport goods.

Here, a small robot is used for a door closing task.

There are many door-closing robots available today, but most of them are too large to be installed in homes or facilities. Therefore, even though the robot is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, it can properly close doors even on heavy objects such as soundproof doors.
