Eureka Robotics Expands to Japan, Targets Automation Needs
Singaporean robotics startup Eureka Robotics is expanding into Japan, opening an office in Tokyo. The company aims to win customers through partnerships with Japanese manufacturers, seeing a significant opportunity in the country due to urgent automation needs driven by demographic changes.
Eureka's software enables robots to perform tasks with both high precision and agility, setting it apart from competitors. The core software connects robotic arms, cameras, and sensors, allowing for delicate tasks such as handling fragile objects. The company is already working with Sigma Koki, a Japanese optical equipment maker, to automate lens defect detection.
The software is marketed to various manufacturers, including lens makers, aviation industry companies, and logistics firms. Eureka Robotics plans to increase its staff in Japan from a handful to around 30 over the next two years, demonstrating its commitment to the Japanese market. While there is no specific information about other Japanese companies currently working with Eureka Robotics, the company's unique offering could attract more partnerships in the future.
Eureka Robotics, founded by Pham Quang Cuong who began his career as a neuroscientist, spun off from Nanyang Technological University in 2018 and raised USD 4.25 million in funding last year. With its advanced software, the company is well-positioned to transform manufacturing in Japan through AI, addressing the country's urgent automation needs.
