On July 16, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced an expansion of collaboration with Japanese companies in the field of 'physical AI' during an event in Tokyo. This initiative marks a strategic move to integrate NVIDIA's technology into Japan's manufacturing sector, particularly through a partnership with Toyota to develop AI models for the Woven City traffic control system.
The collaboration with Toyota is central to NVIDIA's strategy, as the company will provide GPUs and development tools to Toyota's subsidiary, Woven by Toyota. This partnership aims to embed NVIDIA's technology into the city's digital twin platform, Omniverse, enhancing factory production and driving manufacturing robots with the Isaac platform.
Additionally, Huang revealed plans to deepen cooperation with major Japanese industrial automation firms, including Fujitsu, Fanuc, Yaskawa Electric, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, as part of the Cosmos Coalition. This initiative aims to strengthen Japan's position in the global AI robotics market, with a government goal of achieving a 30% market share by 2040. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
