On February 2, 2026, TIGEREYE Corporation, situated in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, announced its strategic partnership with Kokuyo Co., Ltd., based in Osaka. This collaboration focuses on the development of innovative solutions in the realms of AI and robotics, specifically targeting the enhancement of office environments and visitor management systems.
The product of this partnership will be a next-generation reception and entry control solution, ingeniously integrating TIGEREYE's biometric authentication technology, known as the 'KaoPass Family,' with Kokuyo's extensive expertise in optimizing office environments.
Currently, this new solution is showcased at Kokuyo's Shinjuku office, 'THE CAMPUS,' within the 'KOKUYO OPEN LAB,' a hub for experimenting with future work styles.
AI Reception Solution for Pepper+
This cutting-edge solution features the 'Pepper+' robot, an interactive device that will be installed in corporate entrances. 'Pepper+' will authenticate visitors and employees' identities through facial recognition, using the TIGEREYE technology to provide customized assistance and directions based on the authentication results. TIGEREYE employs an advanced multimodal AI platform that leverages computer vision and conversational technologies to drive practical AI solutions throughout the robotics industry.
Key Features of the AI Reception Solution for Pepper+:
1.
High-Precision Facial Recognition
Utilizing a camera mounted on 'Pepper+,' the system achieves real-time facial recognition through the KaoPass Family. When a visitor arrives, it seamlessly integrates this data with pre-registered information, sending automatic notifications to communication tools like chat applications.
2.
Natural Conversational Experience
The unique AI platform adopts a combination of Large Language Models and computer vision technologies, generating natural dialogues while considering the visitor's name, visit history, and other relevant factors. This allows for flexible interactions, enabled by emotion recognition and facial analysis.
3.
Multilingual Support and Customization
The solution accommodates both Japanese and English, while allowing for conversational design that includes dialects. This flexibility enables customization to meet the operational needs of various industries and companies.
4.
Integration with KaoPass Family Solutions
The KaoPass Family also supports attendance management via facial authentication, entry/exit control systems using facial recognition, and stress analysis through expression data.
Sales Information
The new solution will be available for purchase through Kokuyo, TIGEREYE, and SoftBank Robotics starting from February 2, 2026.
