We participated at CES delivering a humanoid demo in collaboration with Luxoft and DXC Technology.

Acumino participated at Automate 2025 in Detroit with a cable handling and installation demo in collaboration with Universal Robots. Acumino demo was located in the Electronics MFG Zone that focused on applications related to electronic components.

We participated at 2025 NVIDIA GTC. Our robots spent the first two days playing tic-tac-toe with visitors, understanding their playing strategies, and adapting to them so as to win. Nice to see humans being surprised by the outcome!

The last two days we focused on bimanual assembly of pipes, a task that we had never encountered before the morning of day 3. Robots were provided by Universal Robots together with their AI accelerator.

We have announced the signing of an investment and exclusive distribution agreement for the Japanese market with MegaChips Corporation, a prominent Japanese semiconductor firm. This agreement marks a significant milestone in Acumino’s mission to advance AI-driven dexterous robotics. The company’s technology enables robots to achieve unparalleled dexterity and return on investment (ROI) in performing tasks that were previously considered impossible to automate.

Through this partnership, Acumino and MegaChips will collaborate to develop and deploy next-generation AI-powered robotic workers in Japan, addressing critical labor shortages. These robotic workers will help bridge labor and skill gaps by improving productivity in a fast, scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient manner.

MegaChips Corporation, founded in 1990, specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of integrated circuits (ICs). The company is known for its expertise in creating custom ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) and System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and telecommunications. MegaChips provides advanced semiconductor solutions to global clients, with applications in image-processing technology, image sensors, data transmission, and high-performance computing. In recent years, MegaChips has expanded its focus to include 5G communication, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT), catering to the growing demand for cutting-edge technology.

Tetsuo Hikawa, President and CEO of MegaChips, said:

“Acumino’s technology, with its hardware-agnostic and scalable AI system, enhances production technologies and addresses the challenges many companies face in manufacturing site. By forming a partnership with Acumino, who has unparalleled technology, we expect this collaboration to significantly contribute to the expansion of MegaChips’ new business ventures in the future.”
