Event Summary

Fujitsu and Nvidia are leading a major push in physical AI technology, bringing together Japan's top robotics manufacturers FANUC, Yaskawa Electric, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The initiative aims to develop smart robots that can think autonomously and work alongside humans in factories, homes, and hospitals. Announced in Tokyo by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Fujitsu CEO Takahito Tokita, the collaboration seeks to address Japan's acute labor shortage and aging population. The first phase is expected later this year, with no joint venture decision yet. Japan's government, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, recently announced a plan to invest over 370 trillion yen ($2.3 trillion) by 2040 in technology fields including physical AI.
