A Day Begins at the Fukushima Robot Test Field.
The team arrived early at the sprawling Fukushima Robot Test Field, a facility known for its cutting-edge environments designed for robotics testing. The day started with a quick briefing and a photo shoot inside the long, dimly lit test tunnel, where Adam posed for promotional shots before the rigorous trials ahead.

Careful Planning Before the First Test.
Before any testing began, the engineers reviewed safety protocols and finalized the day’s testing sequence. They checked Adam’s hardware, adjusted wheel configurations, and calibrated sensors to ensure accurate performance data. Each step was carefully documented to prepare for potential improvements later.

Putting Adam to the Slope Challenge.
The first major trial focused on incline performance. The team tested Adam on slopes with 15-degree and 30-degree inclines, experimenting with different wheel types to see how traction and stability changed. These tests were critical for confirming Adam’s ability to handle hilly agricultural landscapes.

Conquering Rough Terrain and Muddy Fields.
To wrap up the day, Adam faced the most demanding conditions: uneven ground and deep mud. The robot navigated through rough, rocky terrain before moving into a simulated paddy-like field to test waterproofing and mobility. The results proved Adam’s capability to operate in real-world environments, even under harsh conditions.
