For nine years at university, I conducted research on the mechanism and control of mobile robots. The appeal of robots is that they can generate more power than humans, they can work in confined spaces and high places where humans cannot go, and they can do enormously repetitive tasks that would tire a person both mentally and physically, silently and without error. However, we also felt that it would be difficult to put the robot to practical use simply by building and presenting a prototype in a university laboratory. I thought that the important thing was to first actually introduce the robot to the world and gradually gain the trust of society while further advancing the technology. I then founded MiraiKikai. I wanted to introduce truly valuable machines to the world that would be of use to people".

MiraiKikai is still a small organisation. It is precisely because we are small that the responsibility of each and every one of us in our work is significant and, at the same time, highly rewarding. This is because each individual's work is directly linked to the company's growth and results, and also because we can have an impact on society through the company. The expansion and change of each individual's area of work is flexible, and everyone is not confined to their assigned role. Our members come from all over the country, from new graduates in their 20s to veteran engineers in their 80s, and from a wide range of backgrounds, including engineering, agriculture, economics and law. They are all determined to solve society's problems themselves and have a genuine desire to do so. I am convinced that it is this kind of organisation that can create the 'machines of the future' that do not yet exist in our society.

Why don't you join us in solving society's problems through exciting work?
