ABEJA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Collaborate on VLA Model Research Exploration

In a significant development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), ABEJA Inc., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has announced the initiation of a collaborative research endeavor with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., based in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. This partnership aims to explore the feasibility of implementing the advanced Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model in various applications.

ABEJA, under the leadership of CEO Yosuke Okada, is dedicated to 'implementing a rich world' through the synergy of humans and AI. The VLA model represents one of the leading-edge AI models that integrates visual information, natural language, and specific actions performed by robots or systems. This innovative framework seeks to address challenges faced by traditional autonomous models, which often operate in segmented processes, making it difficult to adapt flexibly to unknown situations. By incorporating large language models (LLM), the VLA model is designed to execute more complex tasks while understanding its environment in real-time.

The cooperation between ABEJA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will focus on several key areas, including an overview of the VLA model, its underlying operational principles, and technical investigations into current trends and applications. ABEJA aims to conduct thorough research to maximize the potential of this model in real-world applications. This collaboration reflects ABEJA’s ongoing commitment to actively engaging in research and development of the latest technologies, driving transformation within various industry structures.

Founded in 2012, ABEJA has built a strong reputation for its robust digital platform, known as the ABEJA Platform. This platform serves as a foundation for introducing AI into mission-critical business operations, providing a stable and reliable system for clients. The platform is equipped with cutting-edge technologies, including generative AI, enabling seamless cooperation between humans and machines. Since its inception, ABEJA has focused on advancing the ABEJA Platform, garnering significant trust from client companies and driving the transformation of industry structures through the power of technology.
