RobotBank Lab

RobotBank Lab is an open co-creation hub operated by the Japanese company RobotBank. Its motto is "from 'want to try' to 'usable in the field'" and its operating model is Explore · Connect · Test · Create · Deploy. The lab continuously researches domestic and international robotics, AI, component and R&D trends, selects the best options for each customer, connects the right manufacturers and technology partners, runs demos and proofs-of-concept (PoC) that account for safety, operations and deployment impact, and — when off-the-shelf products are not enough — delivers customization and co-development of new solutions, through to integration and real-world deployment. Its strengths are a global network (Japan, China, the US, universities and manufacturing partners), open innovation across company and national boundaries, and a strong understanding of field realities (ROI, safety, maintenance).
