Prox Industries to Present at the First Physical AI Exhibition in Tokyo

Prox Industries, based in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, will be joining Japan's largest manufacturing exhibition from July 1 to July 3, 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight. The event, titled the 1st Physical AI Exhibition, will keenly focus on advancing the understanding and application of Physical AI in various industrial sectors.

The Rise of Physical AI

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in interest towards Physical AI. This technology merges AI, robotics, and sensors, allowing machines to make autonomous decisions and actions in real-world environments. The growth of Physical AI is in response to critical challenges such as Japan's declining birthrate and aging population, which result in labor shortages, particularly in essential industries like manufacturing. This has amplified the need to automate hazardous tasks and streamline processes that traditionally rely on skilled laborers. Physical AI serves as a crucial foundation not only for automating existing operations but also for innovating new products, services, and business models.

Prox Industries specializes in Physical AI and has been actively engaged in research and development projects targeted at solving real-world challenges faced by enterprises. The company supports its clients by aiding the development of new business initiatives that leverage Physical AI, from concept formulation to technical development and validation. The exhibition will showcase their practical robots and simulation technologies to highlight the potential applications of Physical AI.

Exhibition Demonstrations

During the exhibition, Prox Industries will present multiple demonstrations specifically tailored for the event, illustrating real-world applications of Physical AI. Their team of engineers will provide direct technical insights into the support services offered, encompassing research and development, societal implementation, and new business creation.

The planned demonstrations will include:

• - Applications and anticipated use cases for Physical AI across various industries.
• - Development demo of autonomous manipulation using collaborative robot UR3e.
• - Development demo featuring humanoid robot Unitree G1 with Inspire hand for multi-fingered autonomous manipulation.
• - A video presentation explaining the Real2Sim2Real pipeline using Franka collaborative robots integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse.

Please note that the exhibition demonstration content may be subject to change.
