Shimizu (TYO:1803) is mulling the deployment of AI-powered humanoid robots to handle tasks, including painting and plastering at its construction sites, by fiscal 2030, Nikkei Asia reported Wednesday.
The Japan-based construction company said it plans to develop robots for use at construction sites by combining humanoid control systems with arm-type robotic technologies.
The company will begin developing an AI system to control the upper body of a humanoid robot in fiscal 2026, with full-body system development planned between fiscal 2027 and 2029.
