Exploring the Future of Robot Transformation at the SSK Seminar

Discovering the Frontiers of Robot Transformation

On June 19, 2026, a significant seminar titled Robot Transformation（RX）最前線 will be hosted by Daisuke Yamada, Senior Project Manager at Mitsui & Co. Strategic Research Institute. This event, organized by the New Society System Comprehensive Research Institute (SSK), is set to explore the profound changes and opportunities brought about by Robot Transformation in various sectors, amidst an undeniable global trend of labor shortages.

Why Attend This Seminar?

The seminar aims to illuminate how operations and business models can be redesigned around the use of robotics. As digital transformation (DX) progresses, industries face the persistent challenge of automating physical tasks in logistics, manufacturing, facility management, and services. This situation necessitates a significant shift towards RX, which focuses on leveraging robotics to enhance operational effectiveness.

Daisuke Yamada's lecture will delve into the latest trends regarding the foundational robotic models that underpin RX. It will also address how the competitive landscape is evolving from merely hardware-based solutions to a more data-driven focus that encompasses operational learning and deployments. With Japan positioned as a prospective hub for implementation, the seminar provides a platform to discuss vital issues relating to Robotics as a Service (RaaS), data utilization, and the future business opportunities that may arise.

Agenda Highlights

1. Structural Labor Shortages and the Necessity of RX
- Understand the correlation between ongoing labor shortages and the trends driving RX.
2. Extending DX to Physical Spaces
- Learn how RX is pushing for versatility in robots required for small-batch, diverse production.
3. The Rise of Robotic Infrastructure Models (VLA/Physical AI)
- Gain insights into emerging technologies that support RX implementation.
4. Competitive Dynamics in the US, China, and Japan
- Analyze Japan's strengths within the global competition.
5. Transitioning from Hardware Sales to RaaS and Data Business
- Explore how sales models are shifting in the industry.
6. The Impact of On-site Data on Competitive Advantage
