"U.S. technology company Nvidia and Fujitsu, a Japanese telecommunications and computer maker, agreed Friday to work together on artificial intelligence to deliver smart robots and a variety of other innovations using Nvidia's computer chips. "The AI industrial revolution has already begun. Building the infrastructure to power it is essential in Japan and around the world," Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said, hugging his Fujitsu counterpart Takahito Tokita on stage. "Japan can lead the world in AI and robotics," Huang told reporters at a Tokyo hotel."
"It initially will be tailored for the Japanese market, leveraging Fujitsu's decades-long experience here, but may later expand globally, and will utilize Nvidia's GPUs, or graphics processing units, which are essential for AI, according to both sides. The two executives did not outline specific projects or give a monetary figure for planned investments. But exploring a collaboration in AI for robots with Yaskawa Electric Corp., a Japanese machinery and robot maker, was noted as a possible example."
Nvidia and Fujitsu agreed to collaborate on artificial intelligence to deliver smart robots and a range of innovations using Nvidia's chips. The partnership aims to build an AI infrastructure to support health care, manufacturing, the environment, next-generation computing and customer services, with a goal of establishing that infrastructure in Japan by 2030. Initial efforts will be tailored to the Japanese market, leveraging Fujitsu's local experience and potentially expanding globally while using Nvidia GPUs. Possible projects include AI for robots with Yaskawa Electric, and the collaboration emphasizes a humancentric approach to address social issues and labor shortages through digital twins and robotics.
