NVIDIA and Japan's Robotics Leaders Build on Cosmos to Advance Physical AI Frontier

NVIDIA has announced that Japan’s leading robotics and manufacturing companies are building on its Cosmos, Isaac, Metropolis, and Jetson platforms to accelerate the development of advanced physical AI systems across global industrial environments.

The collaboration unites major Japanese technology and precision engineering organizations, including FANUC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kubota, NEC, SoftBank Corp., Sony Group Corporation, and Yaskawa Electric, to construct next-generation automated machinery.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, stated:

"The next frontier of AI is in the physical world, and this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Japan. By combining its world-leading heritage in manufacturing, precision engineering and robotics with NVIDIA Cosmos, Isaac, Metropolis and Jetson, Japan’s innovators are building the next generation of intelligent machines."

The partnership marks the debut of NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Edge, a 4-billion-parameter physical AI model engineered for on-device vision reasoning and real-time robot policy deployment on Jetson platforms, including the new T2000 and T3000 modules.

Furthermore, the newly introduced Metropolis libraries enable software developers to utilize coding agents to build, train, and operate video intelligence systems with Cosmos at least six times faster than traditional methods.

Led by Fujitsu, major manufacturers are also exploring a collaborative control platform integrating NVIDIA’s physical AI stack to securely bridge digital and physical operations across diverse industrial sectors.

Other prominent enterprise partners, including OMRON, Honda R&D, and Telexistence, are deploying these world models to systematically optimize autonomous agricultural machinery, automated industrial inspection, and retail automation workflows.

By expanding the open Cosmos Coalition to Japan, NVIDIA aims to drastically shorten development cycles for factories, logistics networks, construction sites, and smart buildings.
