According to Nikkei, NVIDIA is currently partnering with top Japanese industrial robot firms, including Fanuc and Yaskawa Electric, to advance AI-driven robotics. In an interview, Murali Gopalakrishnan, who leads NVIDIA's intelligent machines business, noted that while Japan boasts a solid foundation in the industrial robotics sector, it is no longer considered a dominant force in robotics under the new AI-driven paradigm. At present, Chinese and U.S. companies are at the forefront of developing humanoid robots, whereas Japan seems to be falling behind in integrating AI with robotics technologies. Despite Japan's continued strength in manufacturing precision components, it faces notable shortcomings in AI control systems and computing power. These deficiencies are largely attributed to a lack of large-scale data and scenario accumulation, coupled with insufficient overall computing capacity. Nonetheless, Japanese firms are actively pursuing breakthroughs, as exemplified by Yaskawa Electric's strategy to manufacture AI robots in the U.S. and standardize the inclusion of NVIDIA GPUs to boost the intelligence of their robotic offerings.
