HACARUS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto; Representative Director and CEO: Takashi Someda) is launching the "HACARUS Humanoid Lab," a new development support base aimed at the social implementation of humanoid robots. This lab will provide a verification environment for physical AI development using actual machines, accelerating companies' utilization of humanoid robots.
**■ Background**
In recent years, interest in humanoid robots has been growing, but in Japan, the hurdles to technical verification using actual machines remain high. Many companies currently spend significant time and cost on environment setup. As a result, it is not uncommon for use case verification and implementation considerations, which should be the primary focus, to be delayed.
**■ Features of HACARUS Humanoid Lab**
To resolve these early-stage challenges, HACARUS Humanoid Lab offers the following functions:
- Provision of actual humanoid robots and industrial robots.
- Verification of integration with HACARUS's visual inspection and on-site support products.
- End-to-end support from use case design to implementation.
User companies can reserve actual machines and verification environments held at HACARUS's headquarters for a certain period and conduct robot utilization and verification work with technical support from our engineers. This significantly reduces the time and cost associated with environment setup, providing an environment where companies can concentrate on "on-site utilization verification" and "application development for implementation." Through this service, we will promote the co-creation of use cases aimed at the practical operation of humanoids and accelerate the social implementation of physical AI by providing comprehensive support from verification to implementation.
Manufacturing is a crucial foundational industry supporting Japan's economy, holding a significant global presence due to its technological prowess and high quality. However, in recent years, it has faced various challenges such as chronic labor shortages due to a declining working population, delays in DX (Digital Transformation), and increasing maintenance costs for facilities and infrastructure.
HACARUS aims to provide new solutions to these challenges through next-generation AI-driven technology and ideas, contributing to the enhancement of the competitiveness of Japan's world-renowned industries.

**Future Outlook**
Until now, HACARUS has promoted the social implementation of AI and robots in fields such as visual inspection and on-site support in manufacturing, utilizing its unique lightweight AI technology. Moving forward, through the Humanoid AI Lab, we will promote research and development of new on-site support technologies through the fusion of AI and robotics, contributing to solving challenges in various industries, including manufacturing.
