Purpose<\/strong> – Our raison d’\u00eatre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Unlocking Human Ingenuity <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
to Create Robotics <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
that Enrich the Future<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

A purpose sourced from our commitment to help shape the future by developing robotics that enrich the world<\/kbd><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As pioneers in industrial robotics, we have been developing innovative technology since 1968. Our technical expertise has enabled us to contribute to various industrial fields while expanding our product portfolio to include technology that impacts society.
As a fully integrated robot manufacturer, we are committed to providing innovative and safe technology that enriches life people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cContributing to the nation\u2014to society\u2014through expertise,\u201d -Shozo Kawasaki, Founder of Kawasaki<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the inception of Kawasaki, we have tackled societal challenges by creating products featuring state-of-the-art technology. Though our products and services have changed throughout time, our commitment to enriching life by supplying innovative technology has remained the same.
We are expanding beyond industrial automation by enabling our robotic solutions to solve societal challenges and meet growing needs in industries such as healthcare and infrastructure. With much determination, we will continue to innovate and develop robotics with which humans can cooperate to build a more sustainable world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Believe in our strengths and contribute new value to society<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Passion
We are passionate about taking on the challenges before us as we expand our activities to new
frontiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Value creation
We aim to create value that leads to sustainable change for customers, organizations, society, and humanity by solving challenges in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Human-centrism
We aim to realize a society where humans can coexist and collaborate with robots, prioritizing enriching the future through new technological advances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Creativity
We combine a broad view of society with our technological expertise and experience to propose new and
innovative ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pioneers in the industry, building on technological expertise and creativity developed over decades in robotics. Rooted in the spirit of \u201cOne Team,\u201d we take on societal challenges with a sense of ownership, confidence, and pride, transcending individuality and pushing beyond what one can achieve alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a complex world, we will continue to face unforeseen challenges. To meet those challenges head-on, we will leverage our trusted partnerships to create new solutions and add value to society. Based on this philosophy, we create peace of mind for all stakeholders and continue to nurture those partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conduct<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Our Promise
Take Ownership
We believe in our potential and take the initiative.
We constantly acquire knowledge and skills and always pass them on to others.
We raise our voices without fear of failure and bring about change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Accept mutual differences and strengths.
We know ourselves while we value and respect those around us.
We deepen mutual understanding by ensuring emotional security and working as one team.

We create new opportunities by leveraging each other’s strengths.
We have the courage to take occasional risks and work together to overcome complex challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Inspire new realizations in the field.
We consider customer requests to identify the root cause of the issue and propose solutions that address the problem.
We make proposals that go one step beyond customers\u2019 expectations.
We continue to deliver proposals passionately based on technical expertise and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the future a reality in two domains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0Industrial Robots<\/strong>

Kawasaki-Unimate, the first industrial robot manufactured domestically in Japan, was introduced to perform automotive welding applications and later painting applications. The aim was to reduce \u201ckitsui\u201d (hard), \u201ckitanai\u201d (dirty), and \u201ckiken\u201d (dangerous) tasks in Japanese manufacturing processes. With the subsequent development of articulated robots and the shift from hydraulic to electric drive systems, new high-speed and high-precision robots were put into operation, contributing to the mass production of automobiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have a history of providing solutions to industries that have never used robots. One such example is the semiconductor industry; we conducted the development and commercialization of wafer-handling robots to enable rapid mass production. The latter, in combination with excellent customer service, this has made us the world leader in robot manufacturing for the semiconductor industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to work for the benefit of society by expanding our robot lineup and application fields, from collaborative robots to remote control technology to and robotics for the logistics industry. We aim to create a safe and connected future where robots can help people live enriched lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kawasaki<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Social Robot<\/strong>
We apply the robot technology we have cultivated in industrial robotics to address various social issues. Examples of our work include the hinotori\u2122 Surgical Robot System, which reduces the stress on medical staff and patients in the healthcare field, and the Nyokkey service robot platform, which addresses labor shortages in various areas. We will continue to develop robots for deployment in new applications & industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hinotori\u2122 Surgical Robot System<\/strong>
Japan\u2019s first surgical robot system, hinotori\u2122, provides support for laparoscopic surgery, which requires a high level of skill. Using a surgical robot system reduces the stress on the patient\u2019s body. Communication technology is in development to enable remote surgery using the hinotori\u2122.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nyokkey Service Robot Platform<\/strong>
Nyokkey collaborates with people, moving like a human and performing tasks with two arms. Through application uses such as serving meals and clearing dishes in restaurants, supporting commercial cleaning services, and monitoring care facilities, this robot will help minimize the pain of labor shortages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Kawasaki<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We are ready.
There have been challenges in the past, and the road ahead will never be smooth.
We will work to improve everyday life to create an enriched world full of creativity.
The latter is a future we strive for.
As we move forward, we can face any challenge and develop innovative solutions by believing in our potential and embracing positivity.
Our commitment is to achieve a society where people’s lives are enriched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
