Commissure, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo's uTIE office, will host the 'Physical AI Research Meeting #0' on October 20, 2026, from 16:30 to 18:00. The event is invitation-only and free of charge, with registration available via Peatix. The meeting aims to discuss the implementation of Physical AI in Japan's industrial landscape.
This inaugural session will focus on the current state of Physical AI and strategies for Japan to gain a competitive edge. Key speakers include Kazumasa Hirano from NVIDIA, Masaki Mizohashi, CEO of Commissure, and CTO Arata Horie, with Yujiro Arakawa moderating the panel discussion. They will explore the technological and industrial landscape of Physical AI from three perspectives: global technology infrastructure, business implementation by Commissure, and field data.
The panel will address the transition of Physical AI from experimental stages to practical applications, discussing challenges companies face in implementation, including model selection, data acquisition, safety measures, and internal decision-making processes. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
