Black AI Inc. participated in and won the 'HUMANOID HACK TOKYO' humanoid hackathon held at GMO Humanoid Lab on May 30-31, 2026. For this hackathon, Black AI developed a 'Human-Robot Collaboration' demo based on the traditional Japanese craft of mochi-pounding, where a human and a humanoid robot work in sync. The project was highly praised for safely reproducing a high-difficulty collaborative task—where one person swings a mallet and the other turns the mochi—on actual hardware, where even a slight timing error could lead to an accident. Black AI focuses on the potential of robots that work alongside humans, learn from them, and inherit their skills, rather than replacing them. This project presents a future where expert movements are preserved as 'reproducible motion assets,' proposing a new approach that balances 'skill inheritance' with 'human-robot collaboration.'
