Japan Opens Data Center for Training Humanoid Robots
Japan has launched the J-HRTI Kanto Data Factory, a facility dedicated to training humanoid robots for industrial tasks. This initiative aims to integrate robots into factories and logistics by teaching them to perform simple tasks, with plans for further expansion across the country.

The J-HRTI Kanto Data Factory in Narashino began operations on August 26, hosting 35 humanoid robots with a capacity for 40. The center utilizes virtual reality glasses for operators to guide robots, collecting data on human movements for AI training through imitation learning.
Initial tasks will focus on simple jobs like material transportation, with the first robots expected to be deployed in real work environments by March 2026. Japan plans to establish ten similar centers to gather data and develop AI models for various industries, addressing the challenge of integrating robots into existing workflows efficiently.
