About
About the company
This start-up company from a famous Japanese university aims to eliminate physical hard work from all over the world by developing "humanoid heavy machinery" based on the philosophy of a knowledgeable and experienced professor and advanced robot control engineering technology.

They have been developing intellectual property utilization services, and they are providing intellectual property based on cutting-edge robotics engineering technology, with the participation of user companies who are struggling and utility companies that want to commercialize robots. In the future, they will focus on increasing the number of participating companies and developing robots with the aim of expanding the business of this service.

Many of the existing industrial robots use position control, and while they are good at improving work efficiency by automating them in a predetermined environment such as in a factory, they are also used in unknown situations such as infrastructure maintenance sites, construction sites, and disaster sites. They are not good at improving work efficiency in the environment, and even now they still have inefficient heavy work. On the other hand, human-machine integration uses force control to mechanize rather than automate, and aims to eliminate inefficient heavy work, so to speak, hard labor by having humans operate robots.

Recently, they have been promoting capital and business alliances with many business companies, and they are proceeding with robot development with the support of various companies.
