ROBOT TECHNOLOGY JAPAN 2026 | DENSO WAVE ■ Exhibition Overview Name: ROBOT TECHNOLOGY JAPAN 2026 Dates: Thursday, June 11 – Saturday, June 13, 2026 Time: 10:00–17:00 (*Closes at 16:00 on the final day) Venue: Aichi Sky Expo (Aichi International Exhibition Center) 5-10-1 Centrair, Tokoname-shi, Aichi 479-0881 Booth Number: Exhibition Hall F, F-03 ■ Main Exhibition Contents 1) DENSO's Initiatives for Robot Utilization in Next-Generation Factories We will introduce DENSO's robot initiatives for the next-generation factories it aims to create. We propose the automation of reel supply to mounting machines and kanban insertion using the high-speed human-collaborative robot "COBOTTA PRO." We will also have exhibits where you can experience DENSO's advanced technology, such as the automatic generation of optimal motion paths by an AI algorithm developed by the DENSO Research and Development Center. 2) Automation of Highly Difficult Tasks Using AI-Powered 3D Vision Using the 3D vision system "Mech-Eye," we will demonstrate the recognition and inspection of non-conforming radiators placed randomly. We will introduce an application that improves recognition accuracy and achieves stable operation through deep learning technology. Additionally, with the "Cambrian Vision System," we will showcase the automation of wiring harness routing on door inner panels, a task traditionally difficult for soft objects, as well as technology for recognizing and tracking transparent objects. 3) Modular Laboratory Automation that Responds to Evolving Research Needs We will exhibit "COBOTTA LAB Modules," an advanced lab solution that expands the possibilities of research. This flexible automation solution meets diverse on-site needs by allowing free combination of standardized modules. ■ List of Demonstration Machines Labor-saving in Parts Supply Operations DENSO Case Study / Reel Supply to Mounting Machines Utilizing a mobile manipulator that combines COBOTTA PRO and an AMR, we automate the task of supplying reels to mounting machines, which was conventionally done by humans. QR code position correction and vibration control functions enable coordinate correction without re-teaching and reduce cycle time. Automation of Shipping Operations (Kanban Replacement) DENSO Case Study / Kanban Replacement, Lidding, and Transport of Returnable Boxes With COBOTTA PRO and an in-house developed logistics hand, we achieve kanban insertion/removal and handling of returnable boxes without tool changes. This contributes to the automation of in-factory logistics and improves production efficiency. Next-Generation Production System for High-Mix, Low-Volume Production DENSO Case Study / Assembly Process for Next-Generation Products such as EVs (DENSO Corporation, Daian Plant) To respond to the electrification of automobiles and the diversification of product variations, we achieve high-mix, low-volume, and mixed-flow production by reconfiguring standardized production units. Compact Automation of Quality Inspection DENSO Case Study / Image-based Dimensional Inspection of Motor Parts Using a Robot and a Travel Axis (DENSO Corporation, Kosai Plant) By combining COBOTTA, a travel axis, and measuring instruments, we save labor in parts quality inspection. Collaboration with the travel axis expands the operating range, enabling automation with a single robot. This automates the entire inspection process, including loading and unloading, while suppressing introduction costs and installation space. Automatic Generation of the Shortest Path with AI DENSO Case Study / Study and Creation of Robot Motion Paths (DENSO R&D Center, AI Research Division, Intelligent Robotics Lab) DENSO's proprietary AI algorithm automatically searches for the optimal robot placement and generates a path with the shortest cycle time while avoiding obstacles. This eliminates the conventional trial-and-error adjustment process, enabling a highly productive equipment startup in a short time. High Speed of COBOTTA PRO High-Speed Motion Demonstration COBOTTA PRO is equipped with high-rigidity, high-precision torque sensors on each axis. It excels in acceleration and deceleration, allowing for high-precision work without compromising control performance. Furthermore, the touch-sensing soft cover enhances safety while increasing speed during collaborative operation, boosting productivity. We invite you to experience its top-class high-speed and high-precision performance among collaborative robots. Flexible and Smart Lab Automation System Case Study / HPLC Pre-processing A flexible and highly expandable system combining COBOTTA with originally developed standardized modules. The combination and arrangement of modules can be freely configured, and a robot moving on a slide provides coordinated control of multiple modules. Automation of Bin Picking Case Study / Non-conforming Item Inspection of Randomly Placed Radiators The high-speed, high-rigidity VMB series performs high-speed handling of radiators. The VMB series features a full-cover structure and extensive internal wiring, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The AI vision system, Mech-Eye, performs bin picking and non-conforming item inspection of radiators. The use of deep learning technology improves recognition accuracy and ensures stable operation. High-Speed Pick & Place of Transparent Workpieces Case Study / Picking of Transparent Bottles on a High-Speed Conveyor Line By combining the object recognition technology of the AI-powered Cambrian Vision System and the high-speed operation of the SCARA robot HSR, we achieve high-speed conveyor tracking of transparent workpieces. Automation of Harness Routing Work Case Study / Routing and Connector Insertion of Automotive Door Harnesses The AI-powered Cambrian Vision System enables the automation of assembly work for harnesses (soft objects), which was previously difficult with 3D vision. Reducing Setup Time for Force Control Case Study / Shaft Insertion into a Bearing We introduce the Robust Compliance function with a force sensor. Previously, force control required multiple parameter adjustments, and the man-hours involved were an issue. This function simplifies the setup of force control by significantly reducing the number of setting items and adjustment level steps, thereby greatly reducing the setup time. Easy Visualization of Robot Maintenance Information Case Study / Robot Maintenance Operations By utilizing IoT Data Share, we collect robot operation information. We introduce an IoT solution that contributes to detecting the appropriate maintenance timing by visualizing the collected data. Programming with Python Case Study / Drawing COBOTTA This is a demonstration where COBOTTA reproduces a picture drawn by a person. This demo is not controlled by a robot-specific language but by Python, a programming language used in a wide range of fields such as AI, web, and data analysis. Please see the potential of DENSO's open-platform robots. Robust and Ready-to-Use Multifunctional Handheld Terminal Product / Xnavis We introduce a next-generation device that smartly supports the DX of the workplace. Please try this DX support personal device, weighing only about 180g, designed for ease of use in the field.
