About AIRoA

AI Robot Association, AIRoA, is an organization dedicated to collecting large-scale real-world robotics data, including data from humanoid robots, and advancing the development of generative AI foundation models for robotics.

AIRoA has been selected under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, METI, and NEDO’s “Post-5G Information and Communication Systems Infrastructure Enhancement R&D Project” to develop a data platform for generative AI foundation models in robotics. The project has a budget of JPY 20.5 billion. Leveraging this platform, AIRoA is working to collect one million hours of humanoid robot operation data using more than 100 robots, with the goal of developing a world-class Vision-Language-Action, VLA, model.

This initiative is distinguished not only by the scale of its real-world data and humanoid robotics platform, but also by its commitment to openness. AIRoA aims to make datasets, trained models, benchmarks, and evaluation environments as open as possible, thereby building a Robot Data Ecosystem that can be shared by researchers, startups, and large enterprises.

To achieve this, AIRoA requires not only AI models and software, but also robust robot hardware environments that can operate reliably in the real world and support continuous measurement, evaluation, and improvement.

In this role, you will be responsible for electrical, wiring, and embedded electrical systems related to humanoid robots, dual-arm robots, robotic hands, teleoperation systems, and validation environments.

Position Overview

AIRoA is advancing the collection of real-world data, the development of experimental environments, and the validation of robotic systems required for AI robot learning and evaluation through the use of robot hardware.

As R&D progresses, however, existing hardware is increasingly unable to meet all project requirements. AIRoA therefore needs to design and develop its own robotic electrical systems, including humanoid robots, dual-arm robots, robotic hands, sensor integration, power systems, communication systems, and safety systems.

In this position, you will work closely with Mechanical Engineers, Robotics Engineers, AI/Software Engineers, and Research Scientists. You will be responsible for electrical design, wiring design, sensor and actuator integration, power and communication design, prototyping, evaluation, troubleshooting, and design improvement.

This is not merely a role focused on maintaining hardware for data collection. It is a position focused on designing the “real-world interface” required to enable a world-scale AI robotics research infrastructure.

AIRoAについて

AI Robot Association(AIRoA)は、ヒューマノイドロボットをはじめとする実世界ロボットの⼤規模データを収集し、ロボティクス分野における⽣成AI基盤モデルの開発を推進する組織です。

AIRoAは、経済産業省およびNEDOの「ポスト5G情報通信システム基盤強化研究開発事業」において、ロボティクス分野の⽣成AI基盤モデル開発に向けたデータプラットフォーム開発の採択事業者に決定しており、事業予算は205億円です。この基盤をもとに、100台以上のロボットを⽤いて100万時間規模のヒューマノイドロボット操作データを収集し、それを活⽤して世界最⾼⽔準のVision-Language-Action(VLA)モデルを開発するプロジェクトを進めています。

この取り組みの特徴は、実世界データとヒューマノイドプラットフォームの規模だけではありません。AIRoAは、データセット、学習済みモデル、ベンチマーク、評価環境を可能な限りオープンにし、研究者‧スタートアップ‧⼤企業が共通して活⽤できる「Robot Data Ecosystem」の構築を⽬指しています。そのためには、AIモデルやソフトウェアだけでなく、実世界で安定して動作し、計測‧評価‧改善を継続できるロボットハードウェア環境が不可⽋です。

本ポジションでは、ヒューマノイドロボット、双腕ロボット、ロボットハンド、遠隔操作システム、検証環境などに関する電気‧電装‧組込電気システム領域を担っていただきます。

ポジション概要

AIRoAでは、ロボットハードウェアを活⽤しながら、AIロボットの学習‧評価に必要な実世界データの収集、実験環境の構築、ロボットシステムの検証を進めています。

⼀⽅で、研究開発の進展に伴い、既存ハードウェアだけでは満たせない要件も増えており、AIRoAとしてヒューマノイドロボット、双腕ロボット、ロボットハンド、センサ統合、電源‧通信‧安全系を含むロボット電気システムを⾃ら設計‧開発する必要が⽣じています。

このポジションでは、Mechanical Engineer、Robotics Engineer、AI/SoftwareEngineer、Research Scientistと連携しながら、ロボットの電気設計、電装設計、センサ‧アクチュエータ統合、電源‧通信設計、試作、評価、トラブルシューティング、設計改善までを担っていただきます。単なるデータ収集⽤ハードウェアの保守ではなく、世界規模のAIロボット研究基盤を成⽴させるための「実世界インターフェース」を設計するポジションです。
