Tokyo Robotics

Positioning

Tokyo Robotics Inc. is a Tokyo-based developer of Torobo humanoids, torque-controlled multi-finger hands, teleoperation interfaces, and mobile-manipulation solutions for logistics and data-center monitoring. It became a wholly owned subsidiary of Yaskawa Electric on Jul-01-25, and remained active through 2026 with reinforcement-learning bipedal demonstrations, Torobo2 and Torobo Puppet exhibitions at SusHi Tech Tokyo, and continuing engagement with Yaskawa, Waseda University, NTT Communications, and Japanese robotics institutions. Its differentiator is torque sensing and impedance control for contact-rich manipulation; the open question is whether Yaskawa can convert the technology into repeatable commercial deployments and production volume.
