Our Vision

Leveraging the latest breakthroughs in robotics, we are creating a consumer-grade AI Robot Pet. With a target price point of $200–$400 (approx. ¥30,000–¥60,000), we aim to fill a long-standing gap in the market: achieving lifelike emotional expression at an affordable price. Our product targets urban youth who “want a pet but cannot have one,” starting in the Japanese market and expanding globally.

Team Introduction

Our core team originates from the Ichiro Kato / Shigeki Sugano Laboratory at Waseda University, a global pioneer with a rich history in humanoid robotics. Additionally, world-class experts from the following institutions serve as technical advisors:

• The University of Tokyo
• UC Berkeley
• MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
• Stanford University
• University of Southern California (USC)
• National Taiwan University
• Tsinghua University (Beijing)

Technical Challenges

The core challenge we are tackling is: “How to achieve bio-inspired natural movement and emotional expression within a consumer-level cost structure.” We are actively solving industry-standard “hard problems,” including:

• Compliant joint control with multiple degrees of freedom under extreme cost constraints.
• Silent drive design within a compact volume.
• Lightweight, locally deployable emotional AI (Edge AI).

Company Stage

We have completed the development of our first-generation POC (Proof of Concept) prototype and successfully raised over 150 million JPY in Pre-A funding. We are currently moving into the mass-production model development phase.
