Ota AIRoA (AI Robot Association) ¥4,000,000 - ¥10,000,000
About AIRoA


The AI Robot Association (AIRoA) is launching a groundbreaking initiative: collecting one million hours of humanoid robot operation data with hundreds of robots, and leveraging it to train the world's most powerful Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models.


What makes AIRoA unique is not only the unprecedented scale of real-world data and humanoid platforms, but also our commitment to making everything open and accessible.

We are building a shared "robot data ecosystem" where datasets, trained models, and benchmarks are available to everyone.

Researchers around the world will be able to evaluate their models on standardized humanoid robots through our open evaluation platform.

AI Robot Association(AIRoA)は、画期的な取り組みを開始します。数百台のヒューマノイドロボットを用いて、ヒューマノイドロボットの操作データを100万時間分収集し、それを活用してVision-Language-Action(VLA)モデルを学習させます。

私たちの独自性は、実世界データとヒューマノイドプラットフォームの前例のない規模だけではなく、あらゆるものをオープンでアクセス可能にするというコミットメントにもあります。AIRoAはデータセット、学習済みモデル、ベンチマークを誰もが利用できる共有の「ロボット・データ・エコシステム」の構築を目指しています。実現が成功すれば、世界中の研究者が、私たちのオープン評価プラットフォームを通じて、標準化されたヒューマノイドロボット上で自らのモデルを評価できるようになることを期待しています。

Benefits


There are currently no comparable projects in the world that collect data and develop foundation models on such a large scale.

As mentioned above, this is one of Japan's leading national projects, supported by a substantial investment of 20.5 billion yen from NEDO.

This position will play a crucial role in determining the success of the project.

You will have broad discretion and responsibility, and we are confident that, if successful, you will gain both a great sense of achievement and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to society.


Furthermore, we strongly encourage engineers to actively build their careers through this project—for example, by publishing research papers and engaging in academic activities.
