Cosmos 3 Edge debuted in Japan on Wednesday as Nvidia’s new world model for robots and vision AI agents, extending the physical AI platform it launched globally in May.
Jensen Huang used a two-day Japan visit to pair the rollout with an industrial coalition that Fujitsu, Hitachi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries intend to join, targeting real-time navigation and factory automation.
Nvidia is also widening its Japan push beyond manufacturing into healthcare and biotech through Tokyo-1, the Xeureka-run drug discovery consortium powered by its BioNeMo Agent Toolkit.
Astellas, Daiichi Sankyo and Ono Pharmaceutical are already using Nvidia’s biology tools, underscoring how the company is tying industrial and life-science customers into the same Japan expansion.
Japan’s AI market is projected to reach $27.9 billion by 2029, drawing heavier U.S. investment as Tokyo promotes adoption and local companies seek overseas partnerships.
With US tech giants investing billions, can Nvidia's 'physical AI' strategy outmaneuver rivals for dominance in Japan?
Can AI robots truly solve Japan's deep-rooted demographic crisis, or will they create new societal challenges?
