In a complementary development, Panasonic conducted a trial of contactless fingerprint authentication at Haneda’s Terminal 3 in February 2025—the first such trial in Japan. The system takes a photo of the fingertip with a camera, eliminating the need to press one’s hand against a sensor. By using AI to predict finger deformation caused by pressure, the technology dramatically reduces reference errors and aims to support faster, more accurate identity verification at immigration.
AI at Haneda extends beyond the terminal buildings. JAL and NEC Corporation have been experimenting with self‑driving buses equipped with NEC’s Neoface facial recognition for passenger verification. Operating at Self‑Driving Level 2 (where the system controls acceleration, deceleration, and lane‑keeping but the driver remains the main operator), these buses are being tested in the Haneda Airport maintenance area with JAL employees. ai haneda
It is hidden in the flow of crowds, the blink of a security camera, and the robotic voice guiding a wheelchair passenger to their gate. This phenomenon is increasingly referred to by technologists and frequent fliers as In a complementary development, Panasonic conducted a trial
