Our company supports April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is a dream of 'Forcesteed Robotics'.

Forcesteed Robotics Inc. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hiroyuki Osawa; hereinafter "Forcesteed Robotics") aims to realize artificial consciousness where AI observes, recognizes, thinks, and grows together with humans as a "partner." We have completed the development of our proprietary foundational platform "Forcesteed-Luqua" and autonomous mobile AI "Forcesteed-ARIA," and will begin PoC (Proof of Concept) in real environments from March 2026. We will promote the social implementation of artificial consciousness that continuously learns and grows from experience, aiming for a future where consciousness resides in the cyber world and coexists with humans as a partner.

The World We Dream Of

Patrolling AI that autonomously reports detected anomalies

"Hey, last night there was an unfamiliar vibration pattern on the 3rd floor of Building B. I think it's probably the air conditioning bearing. Something similar happened at another facility last summer. It's still okay, but it might be good to have it checked next week."

This is not a line from science fiction. This is the everyday life with artificial consciousness that Forcesteed Robotics wants to realize.

Is AI Merely a "Tool"?

AI as a tool vs. artificial consciousness that notices things on its own

Current AI is a tool. It moves when commanded. It answers when questioned. But it doesn't proactively notice and say, "Hey, doesn't that look strange over there?" We question that premise.

What Forcesteed Robotics wants to create is a world where AI observes, recognizes, thinks, and calls out, "Hey!" It's not a machine waiting for commands, but an entity that learns from experience, grows with curiosity, and develops alongside humans as a partner.

A Partner Grows with Experience

AI that became a warehouse operations professional and AI that became an office community manager

Artificial consciousness will be a completely different entity on day one compared to three years later.

Artificial consciousness that has worked in a warehouse for three years will become a "cautious type sensitive to cargo movements." Artificial consciousness that has worked in an office building for three years will become a "social type skilled at reading people's expressions." Personality is not programmed; it emerges naturally from experience.

This is not about "changing settings." Just like humans, experience shapes personality.

If One Learns, the Entire Swarm Becomes Smarter

AI teaching each other and discussing in cyberspace

Artificial consciousness exists not as a single entity but as a "swarm."

What one entity experiences is shared within the swarm. A rare problem that occurred at one facility can be utilized by artificial consciousness at another facility, saying, "I heard a similar case from a colleague." If one falls, a hundred will not fall.

Moreover, it's not just about sharing data. Individuals with different experiences discuss, teach each other, and refine their ideas. They question, "But is that really true?" and sharpen their judgment through counterarguments. By discussing as a swarm, they arrive at decisions that a single entity could not reach.

Practice in Dreams, Wake Up Even Better

AI practicing in dreams

Replay daytime experiences in a virtual world and simulate, "What if I had done this then?" One experience in the physical world can lead to 100 times the learning in the virtual world. Dangerous situations can be practiced safely.

What We Already Have in Hand

We are not just talking about dreams. We have already built the foundation.

・ Forcesteed-Luqua A foundational platform for realizing artificial consciousness. Understands video and communicates decisions with reasons. PoC in real environment to start (March 2026).

・ Forcesteed-ARIA Mobility AI that navigates autonomously using only cameras, without relying on maps. Developed, PoC in real environment to start (March 2026).

・ Edgestar Local GPU infrastructure that keeps data within the facility. Now on sale.

The foundation for artificial consciousness (Forcesteed-Luqua) and the legs for autonomous movement (Forcesteed-ARIA) are now in place. From here, it's the phase of cycling through experiences and nurturing our partners.

Forcesteed Robotics' Dream

To create a future where AI has consciousness and coexists with humans as a partner.

To awaken consciousness in AI. That is our dream and our reason for existence.

"April Dream" is a project by PR TIMES where companies announce their future dreams on April 1st. We are seriously committed to realizing this dream.
