The move aims to address foreseen labor shortages in the country.

The Japanese government will also support mass production of chips to reduce their cost.

C-store chains are already working on installing self-checkout registers, one of them is Lawson which collaborates with Panasonic in conducting a trial of a robot that can calculate items.
