Nvidia is expanding its work on physical AI by bringing major parts of Japan’s industrial robotics and automation sector into its Cosmos Coalition, an initiative linked to Nvidia’s “open world” models and its broader push toward AI-enabled hardware. The announcements come during Jensen Huang’s week in Tokyo. The Next Web reports that Nvidia has recruited most of Japan’s industrial robotics establishment, naming 22 companies that participate in the coalition. These include prominent robotics and automation firms and related industrial players such as FANUC, Hitachi, Honda R&D, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kubota, and Mitsui & Co., along with other companies listed in the coalition announcements.
Bloomberg similarly reports that Nvidia and several leading Japanese industrial automation companies will expand their collaboration on robot development. While details of specific projects are not fully outlined in the excerpts, both outlets frame the effort as a reinforcement of Nvidia’s partnerships aimed at building and applying AI models for robotics and real-world systems in Japan.
