Fujitsu and leading Japanese robotics companies to use Nvidia technology in ‘physical AI’
The companies aim to build smarter robots that can work alongside people and help ease Japan’s labor shortage, Nvidia said.
- On Thursday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced partnerships with Japanese firms including Fanuc and Yaskawa Electric to advance Physical AI, creating robots that think independently and work alongside people.
- Fujitsu Chief Executive Takahito Tokita is leading the push to combine Japanese manufacturing prowess with Nvidia technology, building on a deal announced last year with development phases planned later this year.
- Executives noted these robots could address Japan's acute labor shortage and assist the elderly, while Huang praised Japan's 'kaizen' philosophy as a standard for manufacturing precision.
- Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently announced a plan to generate more than $2.3 trillion in investment by 2040, targeting Physical AI, semiconductors, and data centers.
- Nvidia has aggressively forged ties with firms like Toyota Motor Corp. and Sega Sammy in Japan; while no joint venture decision exists yet, options remain open for deeper collaboration.
