Japanese industrial conglomerate founded in 1896 in Kobe, producing industrial robots for over 50 years.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries is a Japanese industrial company with more than five decades of robotics experience. In 1969, through a partnership with Unimation, Kawasaki produced Japan’s first domestically manufactured industrial robot, helping establish the country’s industrial robotics sector. The company develops robotics systems for manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, healthcare, and disaster response. Its Kaleido humanoid platform, now in its ninth generation, applies Kawasaki’s industrial robotics expertise to humanoid robots designed for demanding real-world environments.
Kawasaki announced collaborations with NVIDIA, Analog Devices, Microsoft, and Fujitsu and established a Physical AI development hub in Silicon Valley to advance robotics and industrial AI.
