Agreements reached under this partnership
Comprehensive business alliance- 1
Implementation of humanoid robots at domestic factories (Phase 1): Industrial humanoid robots, including UBTECH's Walker S series, will be introduced on イクヨ's operating production lines. Tasks such as parts handling, visual inspection and assembly assistance will be optimized and implemented with technical support from Senxeed Robotics.
- 2
Multi-vendor trials (Phase 2): Rather than limiting the initiative to a specific manufacturer, humanoid robots from around the world will be introduced sequentially in line with operational challenges, creating a wide range of use cases.
- 3
Establishment of the "Japan Quality" brand and global RaaS rollout: Usage models that meet the stringent quality and safety standards of Japanese automotive factories will be packaged under the "Japan Quality" brand. The companies will promote a business that not only deploys these models at other companies in Japan, but also exports and rolls them out across overseas facilities of Japanese automakers, primarily in Asian countries.
These are items that the documents state the two companies will work on. The lines above and below represent arrangements between the two companies.
The impact of entering into this agreement on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 is minor at this time. If any matters requiring disclosure arise in the future, イクヨ will announce them promptly.

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.As expectations for humanoid robots grow in Japan's manufacturing industry, which faces labor shortages, the companies aim to develop and provide solutions optimized for manufacturing operations by combining イクヨ's relationships with automakers and knowledge of manufacturing sites with Senxeed Robotics' network of robot manufacturers worldwide.
