Mitsubishi to mass-produce humanoid robots

Mitsubishi Motors and Highlanders Incorporated have signed an MOU to develop and mass-produce humanoid robots at Mitsubishi's Kyoto plant starting early 2027, aiming to address Japan's manufacturing labour shortages and operational complexity. If you supply components, materials, or subsystems for humanoid robots—actuators, sensors, power systems, control electronics—Mitsubishi just became a proven buyer at scale; they're building an entire product line, not a prototype. You have until early 2027 to get in the door.
