GMO AI & Robotics Becomes Authorized Distributor for Unitree Robotics in Japan

GMO AI & Robotics has signed an authorized distributor agreement with Hangzhou Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. to introduce cutting-edge humanoid and quadruped platforms into the Japanese market. The strategic alliance establishes a comprehensive network focused on accelerating the social implementation of physical AI systems.

As a global automation leader, GMO AI & Robotics achieved a major operational milestone by combining its parent group’s internet infrastructure, cloud security, and financial offerings into a single deployment matrix. This framework expands industrial capabilities to achieve sustainable, widespread commercial adoption.

Masatoshi Kumagai, Founder, Chairman and Group CEO of GMO Internet Group, stated:

“The activity at our Shibuya facility is part of our ongoing development program to mature intelligent systems and demonstrate readiness for real-world deployment. The humanoid platform is absolutely critical to proving the maturity of physical AI architectures that can operate safely within existing human environments.”

The technical deep dive into these systems highlights Unitree's major platforms, including the G1 and H1 bipedal humanoid layouts along with the Go2 and B2 quadruped configurations. These configurations utilize advanced payload sensors, touch detection mechanisms, and high-performance bionic limbs to ensure high mobility, precision tracking, and reliable on-device execution under continuous operation.

A corporate enterprise spokesperson analyzed the macro market implications of this nationwide distribution ecosystem:

“This strategic partnership marks a powerful step forward for the domestic industrial sector. By bringing together Unitree's engineering agility and rapid innovation with GMO’s infrastructure depth, secure communications, and financial reach, together we’re creating the appropriate conditions for next-generation platforms to move from concept to capability far faster. I am proud that this launch highlights high-performance bionics as a sovereign capability.”

Looking ahead, forward-looking roadmap details focus on executing target deployment trials across logistics, airport ground handling, construction, and facility management infrastructure. Future operations will emphasize software scaling through specialized reinforcement learning, secure edge telemetry updates, and expanded distribution pipelines to deploy millions of active units by 2030.
