Sansei Technologies has acquired a majority stake in FORREC Group, a provider of concept proposals, design planning, and design consulting services for amusement parks, theme parks, and commercial facilities worldwide.

This partnership enables us to be involved in the early planning stage of new construction or renovation projects of amusement parks. Together with Vekoma Rides (the Netherlands) and S&S Worldwide (U.S.), we will form a unique group of companies. Sansei Group is now ready to provide a “one-stop service” to amusement parks on a global scale, handling everything from concept planning, design and engineering for architecture or ride system, manufacturing of amusement machines, to sales and maintenance services.

Sansei Technologies, Inc. has completed the development of “SR-02”, a quadruped walking robot ride using robotics.

SR-02 is an upgraded version of the world's first quadruped walking robot ride that can carry multiple passengers*1,announced on February 28, 2022. With its approximate size of 3.6m in length, 2.0m in width and 2.1m in height, it is able to walk on four legs, carrying max. 4 passengers.

For control software, Asratec’s robot control system “V-Sido” is continuously employed to enable free operation by rider or operator with special controller.

Sansei Technologies, Inc. has successfully developed a quadruped walking robot ride(vehicle) using robotics.

The newly developed prototype ride is in approximate size of 3.4m in length, 1.6m in width and 1.9m in height, and is able to walk on four legs, carrying max. four passengers.

This is the world's first quadruped walking robot ride that can carry multiple passengers*1, offering a totally new experience of the dynamic motion when walking on four that riders can feel with their whole body.

We will seek for further development of the ride to bring about a practical use.

~ Development of transforming humanoid-vehicle robot ride is completed ~

Sansei Technologies, Inc. has completed the development of ridable transforming humanoid robot “SR-01” which can make a performance of transforming into humanoid form and vehicle mode.

SR-01 is a 4-meter-tall large robot that can transform and travel in a bipedal walking humanoid form (robot mode) and a wheel-driven car form (vehicle mode).

SR-01 is an updated version of the prototype ridable humanoid "J-deite RIDE" (press released on April 26, 2018), and its transforming speed, safety, operability and visual design have been updated and improved to best meet the use in shows and events.

We will seek for further development and manufacturing of various amusement rides with use of robotics.

We opened to the public a prototype of the ridable transforming humanoid robot "J-deite RIDE" with Asratec Corp. and BRAVE ROBOTICS Inc. in April 2018.

J-deite RIDE is a 4-meter tall robot that can transform from a bipedal walking humanoid form (robot mode) to a wheel-driven form (vehicle mode) and back. Up to two people can ride the robot and is operable from the driver's seat. It can also be operated by remote-control via wireless network.

We will seek to develop and commercialize transforming robot type amusement rides for amusement parks with use of the transforming technology of J-deite RIDE.
