spare humanoid robot to a site.<\/p>\n<p>The company says it is the first in Japan designed specifically for humanoid robot maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe humanoid &#8216;ambulance&#8217; carries the replacement humanoid to the site and replaces it with the damaged humanoid,\u201d said Shota Takizawa, an engineer at GMO Air.<\/p>\n<p>If repairs cannot be completed there, the damaged robot can be taken back to a repair base while the replacement takes its place.<\/p>\n<p>GMO AIR said it developed the service after experiencing disruptions when damaged humanoids had to be sent away for repair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLearning from that experience, we came up with the idea of providing replacement humanoids,\u201d Tomohiro Uchida, CEO of GMO Air, said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its ambulance-style markings and purple roof lights, the vehicle is effectively a mobile repair workshop.

Its interior has space for robots, laptops and maintenance equipment.There is currently one vehicle based at GMO\u2019s Tokyo headquarters, but the company says it could add more vehicles and bases if demand increases.\u201cWhen humanoids become more popular, this kind of service will be needed,\u201d Takizawa said.Japan in the global humanoid robot raceThe launch comes as competition over humanoid robots intensifies, particularly between China and the United States.China has built a large humanoid manufacturing industry backed by government investment and domestic supply chains, while US companies are competing strongly in AI and advanced robotics.McKinsey estimates the market for general-purpose robotics could reach about $370 billion (\u20ac315bn) by 2040.Japan, long a major industrial robotics producer, is now trying to strengthen its position in AI-powered robotics.In June, the Japanese government set a target of introducing around 10 million robots by 2040 and expanding their deployment across 18 sectors, including healthcare, food services and manufacturing.\u00a0For more on this story, watch the video in the media player above.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2026\/09\/11\/japanese-company-unveils-robot-ambulance-for-on-site-humanoid-repairs&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/90\/88\/08\/1200x675_cmsv2_5fd651f4-2e85-597b-bf97-44fefa238140-9908808.jpg&#8221;] Europe News France joins Slovakia in asking to delist Russian oligarch Usmanov USA US commemorates 25th anniversary of 9\/11 attacks Europe News French father jailed for threatening to behead his son\u2019s teacher Syria Russia returns to Mediterranean with sanctioned &#8216;Syrian Express&#8217; ships Europe News France joins Slovakia in asking to delist Russian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2140262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2140262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140262\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2140262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2140262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2140262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
