Conditions for Establishing Physical AI in the Field Discussed by Booster Robotics, Fairy Devices, and AVITA at CEATEC 2026

On October 13, 2026, the conference '[XS-135] Establishing Physical AI in the Field - Social Implementation through Data and Co-Creation' was held at CEATEC 2026. Presentations were made by Booster Robotics, Fairy Devices, and AVITA, discussing the conditions necessary for technology to take root in practical applications from various angles, including humanoid development and video data collection.

A common theme among the three companies was the recognition that data useful for AI learning is found in the field rather than online. However, differences emerged in their investment decisions and implementation strategies. Booster Robotics, founded in 2023, focuses on humanoid robots and aims to create an ecosystem that integrates humanoid robots, software platforms, and development tools, targeting educational and research applications.

Fairy Devices' CEO, Makoto Fujino, introduced the wearable device 'THINKLET,' designed for remote support services, which captures video and audio to aid skilled workers. This initiative, particularly in collaboration with Daikin Industries, has led to the development of an AI agent that assists in air conditioner repairs, winning first place in the 'GENIAC PRIZE' for knowledge formalization in manufacturing. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
