Physical AI Meetup: AI Hardware, Tool or Companion?
💥 Join us for the full day! In addition to the morning meetup, we are hosting a Physical AI Workshop Tokyo: From 5-Min Agent Build to Hardware Deployment at the same venue in the afternoon.
Think of Doraemon: Is he simply a "tool" to solve problems, or a true "companion" providing emotional value?
Japan is a global powerhouse in robotics and a must-watch market for AI hardware innovators.
With LLMs and Conversational AI redefining how we interact with devices, what new opportunities lie hidden in the Japanese market? And if you're looking to launch here, what are the crucial pitfalls to avoid?
To explore this, the RTE Developer Community is bringing together pioneers from cutting-edge hardware and infrastructure leaders like ROKID, Riselink, and Agora, alongside veteran local founders from Japan's TechTabi community.
