Around 20 Japanese manufacturers, including Kyocera Corp. and Kobe Steel Ltd., are set to form a consortium to develop physical artificial intelligence systems for factory robots, according to sources close to the matter. The alliance, which will begin in October and run for four years, aims to create machine-tool robots capable of autonomously carrying out processing tasks using AI developed by Arum Inc., a software firm based in Kanazawa, central Japan.
