Overview
Robotics arm of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Japan's industrial-robot pioneer. Besides industrial robots and the dual-arm duAro cobot, it develops the FORRO hospital delivery robot, the NYOKKEY semi-humanoid and the Kaleido humanoid (since 2015). Kaleido 9 adds fall-resistant legs, LiDAR-based autonomous walking and HMD teleoperation. In May 2026 it opened a physical AI development hub in San Jose, working with NVIDIA, Microsoft, Fujitsu and others, and set out a focus on medical and nursing care.
Strengths
- Over 50 years of industrial-robot experience
- Dual-arm cobot fits into human workstations
- Development spans hospitals to disaster response

duAro deployed from factories to store back rooms
duAro was reported in use for screwdriving, assembly and case packing in factories and also in store back rooms for tasks like loading meat trays and packing rice balls.

Kaleido 9 teleoperated disaster-rescue demonstration
Kaleido 9 demonstrated disaster-rescue scenarios via real-time HMD teleoperation; Kawasaki plans a stepwise path through teleoperation and human-AI hybrid operation rather than jumping to full autonomy.
