Kailas Robotics CEO, Munkhbayar Dambadarjaa, commented:
"First, I would like to express our gratitude to Aichi Prefecture for selecting us. As a hardware startup focused on manufacturing, being chosen for the 'AICHI Manufacturing Acceleration Program' will significantly accelerate our business expansion. Our robotic arm for mobile platforms can grip objects while in motion, featuring lightweight, high-speed, and precise operation. Considering the global decline in the working population, this technology will become essential in the future. We are also developing a prosthetic device for people with upper limb disabilities. We aim to create world-class products through collaborations with various companies and sectors in the prefecture during the development of this unprecedented lightweight and high-performance arm."
