💨 Abstract

Japan is pushing for a significant role in the global physical AI market, aiming for a 30% share by 2040. Driven by labor shortages and an aging population, the country is deploying AI-powered robots in factories, warehouses, and critical infrastructure. Japan's strength in industrial robotics and hardware supply chains positions it well, but it faces competition from the U.S. and China in full-stack AI systems.
