Professionals from a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, services, healthcare and more will attend in search of services utilizing humanoid robots and related technologies.
Why Humanoid Robots , Why Now?
Embodiment of Intelligence Through AI Advancement
With the rise of generative AI, robots are now capable of advanced language understanding, reasoning, and autonomous decision-making.
Addressing Labor Shortages and Structural Challenges
Japan’s working-age population is projected to continue declining, reaching 73.55 million in 2025 (a decrease of 201,000 YoY). Humanoid robots are gaining attention as a solution to labor shortages.
Intensifying Global Competition
The shift from research to real-world deployment is accelerating. Robot manufacturers and startups around the world, particularly in the U.S. and China are announcing large-scale production plans.
Humanoid Robot Market and Domestic Developments
Japan’s shrinking and aging population is causing a decline in the workforce, drawing attention to humanoid robots as a solution. The government is promoting robot integration through initiatives such as Moonshot Goal 3 and the Robot Industry Vision 2050, aiming to accelerate their development and adoption.
