Mitsubishi Motors to Mass-Produce Humanoid Robots With Highlanders

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and Highlanders Inc., a University of Tokyo-born startup, announced on July 9 that they had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at "building a new industrial foundation where people and robots work together," introducing AI-driven humanoid robots to manufacturing sites. The two will mass-produce Highlanders' robots using idle space at the Kyoto Plant of Mitsubishi Motors' Kyoto Manufacturing Center, targeting the start of production in early 2027 and a manufacturing capacity of 1,000 units per month in the latter half of 2027.
