Overview

Tokyo robotics startup. Its TX SCARA beverage-restocking robot runs at FamilyMart, combining AI with teleoperation fallback. In September 2025 it announced joint development of the generative-AI humanoid Astra with Seven-Eleven Japan, targeting store rollout in 2029, and it is piloting the TX Ghost restocking robot in select Tokyo stores. In June 2026 it showed a bagging demo run by a single VLA model, and in July it joined NVIDIA's Cosmos Coalition.
