AI Data Inc. and Legal Tech Company Reform Robotics Industry

AI Data Inc., based in Minato, Tokyo, directed by President Takahito Sasaki, has partnered with Legal Tech Company, also located in Minato and led by President Tomoyuki Hirai, to unveil a groundbreaking robot intellectual property (IP) platform. This initiative, referred to as "AI Robotics on IDX × Tokkyo.Ai," aims to build an economic ecosystem surrounding robotics IP in Japan by revolutionizing the management and visualization of robot control data, operational know-how, and patent information.

Background

Despite possessing world-class technical prowess, Japan's robotics industry faces critical challenges. The problem primarily lies in the personalization of control logic and development know-how, which make it difficult for technology to translate into business revenue and international competitiveness. Particularly among small to medium-sized enterprises, the black-boxing of expertise has led to decreased reusability and insufficient acknowledgment of remarkable technologies.

To progress into the next growth phase, the robotics sector needs a cohesive mechanism that integrates "standardization of technology data, patent strategies, and SaaS models," effectively transforming technology into distributable "IP assets." This brings the need for a solution more urgent than ever.

Challenges

Japan’s robotics industry faces several key issues:
1. Personal reliance on control data: Technology often depends on individuals, hindering systematic organization and reusability.
2. Delay in intellectual property: Know-how fails to be encapsulated into patents or templates, stunting both protection and monetization.
3. Inefficient value communication: The technical value often does not reach investors or partners, delaying commercialization.
4. Challenges in global expansion: The absence of standardized Japanese technology limits its worldwide distribution.

Solution – AI Robotics on IDX × Tokkyo.Ai

The innovative platform combines Tokkyo.Ai, the Legal Tech VDR, and the IDX robotics infrastructure, offering several key features:

1. Visualization and Patent Template Creation via Tokkyo.Ai

• - Using AI, the platform extracts and organizes inventions related to robot control, process data, and optimization.
• - It automatically generates structured data and templates essential for patent applications.

2. Secure Management of Robot IP by Legal Tech VDR

• - High-precision access control, auditing logs, and OCR full-text search enable meticulous management of IP.
• - The system assists in summarizing, comparing, and analyzing technical documents through AI chat support.
• - It establishes a secure "knowledge data room" for safely sharing robot IP templates.

3. Industry-Specific AI Infrastructure and Private AI Foundation via AI Robotics on IDX

• - It provides templates tailored for various sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and agriculture, focused on robot manufacturing.
• - Knowledge is built around control algorithms, process data, and operational expertise for AI utilization.
• - It calculates ROI for implementations and generates materials for potential investors.

Expected Benefits

The introduction of this platform is anticipated to yield several advantages:

• - Standardization of technology: Personalistic control logic is converted into knowledge, improving reusability.
• - Accelerated invention creation: Lead times from extraction to patenting are shortened.
• - Realization of monetization: Robotics technology is circulated as licenses or SaaS, driving business growth.
• - Promotion of global expansion: Japanese robotics IP can now expand into ASEAN, Europe, and the U.S.

Future Prospects

In the next three years, both companies aim to develop over 100 robot IP templates and collaborate with more than 50 companies domestically and internationally. They are targeting an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of 2 billion yen, striving to offer a seamless process for visualization, protection, standardization, and monetization of robot IP. The ultimate goal is to evolve Japan’s robotics industry into an "IP economic sphere that values and circulates technology."
