AI Data Corp and LegalTech Collaborate on New Revenue Model for Robotics Industry Challenges

Innovative Collaboration in the Robotics Sector

AI Data Corporation, based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has teamed up with LegalTech Co., Ltd. to tackle the ongoing revenue challenges faced by the robotics industry. By integrating its proprietary AI data platform, "AI Robotics on IDX," and LegalTech's intellectual property SaaS platform, "Tokkyo.Ai," the two companies are setting forth a path for robotics firms to better monetize their intangible assets.

The Challenges Facing Robotics Enterprises

Despite showcasing robust technological expertise, Japan's robotics companies often lean heavily on contract development and hardware sales for revenue generation. This has resulted in an underutilization of their intangible assets, which include control know-how, testing data, and operational templates. Frequently, the crucial technical information housed internally remains disorganized and inadequately protected, hindering the establishment of a solid commercial foundation. Recognizing this situation, AI Data and LegalTech launched this initiative with the aim of practically organizing these resources for operational and investment purposes.

A Closer Look at the Proposed Solutions

The joint approach revolves around several key components designed to streamline processes and enhance revenue potential:

Data Consolidation

By using "AI Robotics on IDX," essential design, control, and test data will be consolidated and systematically organized for effective utilization.

Template Development

The creation of intellectual property templates through "Tokkyo.Ai" will facilitate the structuring of promising robotic control logic and technical know-how, transforming them into easily accessible resources.

SaaS Template Offering

Templates will be provided to external companies in either API or document format, which will cater to industry-specific requirements, thus bolstering their reusability.

Technology Evaluation and Data Room Features

A secure data room will allow for the safe sharing of technical information and test data, ensuring a contamination-free evaluation environment while anticipating uses in mergers and acquisitions, fundraising, and technology due diligence.

Automated ROI Documentation

Leveraging performance records from template usage and cost-saving effects, documents for investors and financial institutions will be automatically generated.

Expected Outcomes and Future Directions

The key objectives anticipated from this partnership include:

- Structuring and template development of intangible assets to facilitate the commercialization of robotic technologies.
- Streamlining data preparation necessary for technical evaluation and due diligence.
- Enhancing the clarity of explanations when startups and manufacturers engage in fundraising efforts.
- Creating new business opportunities through the external provision of control know-how.

Both companies aim to roll out their initiative across three main areas:
1. Support Programs for Robot Startups: Offering intellectual property and data monetization assistance.
2. Inventory and Intellectual Property Support for Manufacturers: Assisting companies in cataloging their existing data assets and facilitating their intellectual property.
3. Template Deployment Based on PoC Cases: Leveraging examples from local government and research institutions to implement practical templates.

This collaborative effort aspires not only to generate revenue but also to establish a foundational basis for gathering technological evaluations, securing funds, and forming alliances. As they advance, the potential impact on the robotics industry's commercial landscape is promising.
