PHYSICAL AI ZUKAN is now open: compare the AI that moves, in Japanese and English
11 models — humanoids, robot dogs, robot arms and more — plus 4 places where you can meet robots. Japanese makers come first, and every figure links to an official source.
Words like "humanoid" and "physical AI" are suddenly everywhere in the news. But when you try to look into them, the information is scattered across each maker's own site, and it is hard to tell at a glance what each robot can actually do, or whether you can buy it in Japan.
So we built an index where you can browse and compare the AI that moves — from Japan and around the world — in one place. This is PHYSICAL AI ZUKAN ("zukan" means an illustrated guide in Japanese).
What is on the site?
Humanoids, quadrupeds such as robot dogs, robot arms, logistics robots, autonomous driving, and the AI models that drive robots. We cover the models that matter right now across these six categories.
There are 11 models so far. Each page shows an overview, uses, specs, availability, price, whether it is sold in Japan, and an official video.
- Made in Japan: Kaleido (Kawasaki Heavy Industries) / TX SCARA (Telexistence) / MujinController (Mujin)
- Overseas: Optimus (Tesla) / Figure 03 (Figure AI) / Atlas and Spot (Boston Dynamics) / G1 and Go2 (Unitree) / NEO (1X) / Digit (Agility Robotics)
What we care about
1. Japanese robots first: the JAPAN FILE
English-language directories tend to leave Japanese makers for last. Here, models from Japan sit right at the front, and new Japanese releases are added first.
2. Only what official sources confirm
Robot specs often differ from one article or roundup to the next. We only list figures confirmed by the maker's official information, and each one links to its source. Anything we could not confirm is marked "Not confirmed" instead of being guessed. For example, only three models — NEO, G1 and Go2 — currently have an officially published price.
3. Compare up to 4 models side by side
Line up size, weight, payload, runtime, speed and more. Share any combination just by sending the URL. → Compare Optimus, Figure 03, Atlas and G1
4. Places where you can meet robots
Robots are far more fun in person than on a screen. We list four places, with address, hours, prices and how to book.
- Avatar Robot Cafe DAWN ver.β (Nihonbashi)
- LOVOT MUSEUM (Nihonbashi-Hamacho)
- LOVOT Café (LAZONA Kawasaki)
- Miraikan (Odaiba) — closed from October 1, 2026 to April 22, 2027 (reopening planned for April 23, 2027)
5. Japanese and English
