Physical AI is the collective term for technologies that embed AI into robots and physical devices, enabling them to operate and make decisions autonomously in the real world. It impacts a wide range of industries including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and construction.

Can I understand this without a technical background?

Yes. The program is designed for executives and managers. You can grasp the business impact without any prior technical knowledge.

Which industries are covered in the case studies?

Primarily manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and construction, with the latest case studies from NVIDIA, Boston Dynamics, and CES 2026.

What deliverable will I take away from the Workshop?

Your company's "collaboration blueprint" — an articulated framework for role allocation and authority design between AI robots and humans.

Can this be adopted as a reskilling or talent development program?

Yes. An increasing number of companies are adopting this as an AI literacy training program for managers in manufacturing, logistics, and construction — led by HR and talent development departments.

Does any of this sound familiar?

"Physical AI" — you know the term.
But what does it mean for your operations?

"Humanoid robots," "Physical AI" — you've heard the buzzwords. But what they actually mean for your operations still feels shrouded in fog.

You follow Boston Dynamics and NVIDIA, but can't articulate what will happen to your own manufacturing or logistics lines

You've seen humanoid demos from CES, but haven't organised your thinking on 'how many years until deployment' or 'is this relevant to us'

You've read about Amazon and Walmart's workforce reductions, but can't articulate the implications for your own company in Japan

Even if 'a future of human–robot collaboration' is coming, you can't envision how to redesign authority structures and talent development on the ground

This seminar is not a showcase of overseas case studies that ends there.
After systematically understanding the technological impact, this is a space to craft a "collaboration blueprint" — one that can only be drawn when leadership steps onto the front lines.

What You'll Gain

Skills and insights you will walk away with

Articulate the structure of Physical AI systematically — in your own words

The three-axis evolution of eyes, brain, and limbs, and the meaning of the "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" will click into place — giving you language you can use in board meetings and on the shop floor.

Read the latest global case studies through the lens of your own business

Overseas news will no longer feel like a distant future. You'll articulate implications for your industry — manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, or construction — on the spot.

Speak with evidence about the impact on employment and your organisation — and drive internal action

Neither alarmist nor complacent. You will gain a balanced, compelling perspective grounded in Japan-specific context and sector-level data.

Take home the backbone of your company's "collaboration blueprint"

Who decides what, what to delegate to the front lines, how to train — through the Workshop, your company's unique decision framework and next steps become clear.

Program

How the programme is structured

Participants map their own shop floors onto the material to draft a "collaboration blueprint."Designed not to end at listening, but to make it personal on the spot.

Poll

Will AI take our jobs? A live poll reveals every participant's stance in real time, setting the stage for discussion.

Workshop

Draft your company's 'collaboration blueprint.' Define who decides what, what to delegate to the front lines — articulate and take home your company's unique framework.

Discussion

Physical AI implementation will begin within 3 years. Discuss in groups what to prepare now — talent and organisational design.

Chapter 01

The Physical AI Shock: What Is Happening Inside the "Hyperbolic Time Chamber"

The three core functions of robotics (eyes, brain, limbs) and how AI has evolved each
What is the "Hyperbolic Time Chamber"? — the breakthrough born from ultra-high-speed training in virtual environments
The reality of a humanoid achieving stable walking within 48 hours of assembly
NVIDIA, Boston Dynamics, CES 2026 — the latest global case studies
The automation frontier in warehousing and delivery, and a future where skills are "downloaded like apps"

Chapter 02

What Becomes Visible When Leadership Steps Onto the Front Lines

An ageing population and labour shortages as the "inevitability" drawing Physical AI forward
Manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, construction — sector-specific impact estimates and Japan's unique context
Who stops it, who delegates, who trains — designing authority transfer and education for the front lines

What past participants say

“

Went to see the floor myself

The "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" concept made me truly grasp how nonlinear robotic evolution is. The following week, I went to see our warehouse operations with my own eyes.

Sector-specific analysis hit home

The organised sector-specific impact assessment — covering healthcare and construction too — prompted me to rethink our company's business portfolio. It was content I could bring straight to the board meeting.

Drew the blueprint

The Workshop exercise of articulating 'who decides what' was harder than I expected. That difficulty itself was a discovery — the blueprint I took home is still guiding my conversations with the front lines.
