Tokyo, Japan – Sony Corporation announced a new AI-based system designed to detect slippery surfaces and send instant warnings. The technology aims to reduce accidents in public areas like train stations, shopping malls, and hospitals. It uses sensors and cameras to monitor floor conditions in real time.

The system analyzes data from connected devices to identify risks such as water spills, ice patches, or uneven surfaces. When hazards are detected, alerts appear on nearby screens or through speakers. Notifications include instructions to avoid the area or wait for cleanup. Sony developed the tool after studying common causes of slips in crowded spaces.
Sony’s CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said the innovation reflects the company’s focus on safety and practical AI solutions. He added the system could also help businesses lower liability costs. Testing occurred in partnership with transportation hubs and retail chains in Japan. Early results showed a 40% drop in slip-related incidents during trials.
The AI anti-slip system adapts to different environments. It works in both indoor and outdoor settings. Maintenance teams receive automated reports to prioritize cleanup tasks. The technology integrates with existing infrastructure like security cameras or digital signage.
Sony plans to launch the service first in Japan this December. Expansion to Europe and North America is expected next year. Pricing details will vary based on facility size and needs. The company is in talks with city planners and property managers to install the system widely.
