Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Nvidia are collaborating to advance physical AI, with plans to establish a robotics center in the United States.

CoinFeed reported on May 21 that, according to the Nikkei Asian Review, Kawasaki Heavy Industries will deepen its collaboration with NVIDIA to jointly develop "Physical AI" technology and plans to establish a robotics R&D center in the United States. The two companies will leverage NVIDIA's simulation and digital twin technologies to enhance the training and validation capabilities of robots in virtual environments, accelerating their deployment in real-world scenarios. The report also indicates that NVIDIA's simulation platform will be applied to Kawasaki Heavy Industries' quadruped robot "Corleo," currently under development, to optimize its motion control, autonomous navigation, and environmental adaptability.
