Advantech and Jin-ki Ittai Explore Collaboration Possibilities in Edge Computing and Robotics Technology

■ Background of Collaboration

Advantech has supported the digitalization and advancement of various industrial sites through its products and technologies cultivated in the industrial computing and edge computing fields. Jin-ki Ittai, on the other hand, aims to realize new tasks through the synergistic effects of humans and machines, based on its unique force control technology and power-amplified bilateral control technology.

Both companies believe that by combining their respective technological domains, they can discover new possibilities for robot utilization in industrial settings, and will proceed with initiatives aimed at future business and technological collaboration.

■ Direction of Collaboration

In this initiative, the companies will explore the potential for flexible robot utilization required on-site, by combining Advantech's edge computing product lineup and control platforms with Jin-ki Ittai's robotics and remote control technologies.

■ Exhibition at Japan IT Week 2026 [Spring]

At the Advantech booth during Japan IT Week 2026 [Spring], as a first step in their collaboration, Advantech will exhibit various edge control platforms, including its edge PC 'AMAX,' along with Jin-ki Ittai's independently developed 'Ichireishiki Jinki ver.1.0' and experiential demos. Visitors will be able to visually and concretely see how edge computing and robotics technology are expected to be utilized in industrial settings through this collaboration.
