COMPANY PROFILE / DRONES AND ROBOTICS
Yaskawa Electric
Building motors and robots in-house, and taking on physical AI with the autonomous “MOTOMAN NEXT”
Yaskawa makes the MOTOMAN industrial robots that weld, paint and move parts, and the servo motors that move their joints. Its annual securities report for the year to February 2026 shows robot segment sales of ¥247.0 billion (45.6% of consolidated revenue, our calculation) and operating profit of ¥20.4 billion: sales up, profit down. In its new medium-term plan “Dash 35” the company puts opening the physical AI market first, working on the autonomous AI robot “MOTOMAN NEXT” and on actuators for humanoid robots. This article leaves aside the rest of the company and focuses on the robot side: what it sells, how far the numbers are disclosed, and which parts of its physical-AI work are company description and which are unconfirmed. Yaskawa’s own websites were suspended when this was written, so it rests mainly on the EDINET annual securities reports and the US subsidiary’s site. Checked 25 October 2026.

1. Yaskawa in 30 seconds, and where it stands in drones and robotics
JapanKurosaki Shiroishi, Yahatanishi-ku
and Fukuoka Stock ExchangeAs stated in the annual securities report. Fiscal year ends in February
Components (secondary)The secondary type is core parts such as servo motors. The grouping is ours
Yaskawa is the company behind the MOTOMAN industrial robots that weld, paint and move parts in factories, and it also makes servo motors (motors that turn with precise control), which move robot joints. Its annual securities report divides the company into four segments (motion control, robots, system engineering, other) and discloses sales, operating profit, R&D, capital expenditure and headcount for robots alone, which is unusual detail Sourced.
The second point is the autonomous AI robot “MOTOMAN NEXT”. In its new medium-term plan “Dash 35”, the company puts “opening up the physical AI market” first among its basic policies Sourced. On humanoid robots, we found no statement of selling a finished humanoid; the report says the company has started developing “actuators”, the parts that drive a robot’s joints. This article reads what it sells, how far the numbers are disclosed, and which parts of its AI-robot work are company description or still unconfirmed.
Yaskawa’s official websites (Japan and global) have been suspended since the night of 21 October 2026 because of a PHP vulnerability, and the product and investor pages could not be read when this article was prepared (checked 25 October 2026) Sourced. We therefore relied on the annual securities reports on EDINET (Japan’s government disclosure system) and on the official site of Yaskawa’s US subsidiary, Yaskawa America. Content that appears only in announcements on the Japanese site could not be checked.
2. The logo and how the name is written
A note on names: the company is YASKAWA Electric Corporation. Its robot brand is MOTOMAN. Yaskawa America, Inc. (which runs the motoman.com brand site) and Yaskawa Europe are subsidiaries (called “Yaskawa America” and “Yaskawa Europe” in the annual securities report). SoftBank, JA Zen-Noh (the National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations) and Astellas Pharma are separate companies and organisations.

3. Where the company sits in drones and robotics
Companies in this field are easiest to understand by what they build and who buys it. Yaskawa is mainly an “industrial & specialist robots” company (factory robot arms), and it also builds and sells the motors and controllers inside robots, which gives it a foothold in “components & enabling software”.
4. Scale (limited to the robot business)
Besides robots, Yaskawa makes servo drives and inverters (“motion control”) and steel-plant systems (“system engineering”). This article covers robots only. Figures are as in the annual securities reports (¥ million) Sourced.
| Item (¥ million) | FY2023 (year to Feb 2024) | FY2024 (year to Feb 2025) | FY2025 (year to Feb 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated revenue (whole company) | 575,658 | 537,682 | 542,122 |
| Consolidated operating profit (whole company) | 66,225 | 50,156 | 47,307 |
| Robot segment revenue (external customers) | 234,680 | 237,413 | 247,012 |
| Robot segment operating profit | 25,149 | 23,751 | 20,418 |
| Robot share of consolidated revenue (our calculation) | 40.8% | 44.2% | 45.6% |
| Robot operating margin (our calculation) | 10.7% | 10.0% | 8.3% |
| R&D expenses, robot field | 4,661 | Not checked | 6,522 |
| Capital expenditure, robots | 15,428 | Not checked | 19,799 |
The robot share is robot segment revenue from external customers divided by consolidated revenue; the margin is segment operating profit divided by external-customer revenue. Both are our calculations Our calculation. R&D and capital expenditure for FY2024 are not in the two reports we used, so we did not check them.
| Employees (as of 28 February 2026) | Number | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Robot segment | 4,728 | Plus 335 temporary staff (annual average). Down 157 from a year earlier (the company cites efficiency measures) |
| Consolidated group | 12,483 | Plus 1,879 temporary staff |
| Robot staff of the parent company | 909 | The parent company has 3,114 in total |
The robot figures are segment information, a split chosen by the company. Parts for robots (such as servo motors) may be counted under motion control, so this is not the whole of robot-related sales (how the split is made could not be confirmed) Not yet confirmed. These are also Yaskawa’s own robot sales, not a share of the world robot market.
5. Resources committed to robots
We sorted four angles (people, money, outside relationships, research institutions) by whether the annual securities report and official pages confirm them. “Not stated” is also a result.
| Angle | What we could confirm | Type |
|---|---|---|
| People | Robot segment employees: 4,728 (end of February 2026) and 4,808 (end of February 2024). Robot plants are in Japan (Yahatanishi-ku in Kitakyushu, Nakama in Fukuoka and others), Ohio in the US, and Bavaria in Germany | Sourced |
| Money | Robot R&D ¥6,522 million and robot capital expenditure ¥19,799 million (year to February 2026). The “Dash 35” plan sets cumulative investment of ¥250 billion for FY2026 to FY2029 (whole company; the robot share is not disclosed) | Sourced / not disclosed |
| Plants and sites | The “Robot Plant No. 5” at the Yahatanishi site, which integrates motor and robot production, was completed and is due to start operating in FY2026. In the US the company announced a new campus combining headquarters, technology development and industrial robot production | Sourced / Not yet confirmed |
| Outside investments, acquisitions and joint ventures | Acquired 100% of the shares of Tokyo Robotics Inc. (timing and price could not be confirmed in the report). Set up Cellafa Bioscience Inc. in a joint venture with Astellas Pharma (a manufacturing platform for regenerative medicine products). Sold part of its stake in Yantai Dongxing Magnetic Materials (China) in October 2024, cutting its voting share from 29.9% to 19.9% (no longer an equity-method affiliate) | Sourced / not confirmed |
| Universities and institutions | The “YASKAWA Future Technology Joint Research Chair” at Institute of Science Tokyo (ultralight actuators), joint development of next-generation robots with Kyushu Institute of Technology, and broad ties with Kyushu University. Smart agriculture with JA Zen-Noh. No public programme from METI or NEDO was found in the sources we checked | Sourced / not confirmed |
| R&D base | Yaskawa Technology Center (YTC) brings everything from basic research to pilot production under one roof. Research on remote control of industrial robots over local 5G inside YTC | Sourced |
Main robots and products (as far as official company sources confirm)
All performance values are Yaskawa’s stated values. We do not compare with other makers’ machines or rank them. Because the Japanese product pages could not be read, this section rests on the annual securities report and the US subsidiary’s pages. Checked on 25 October 2026.

6. What it has done so far
| When | Event | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1994 | Raised its stakes in Motoman (US) and Robotec (Europe) and took management control | Secured overseas robot sales and system-building bases |
| June 2010 | Merged Yaskawa America with Motoman, and Yaskawa Europe with Motoman Robotec | Folded US and European robot business into the company’s own subsidiaries |
| 31 October 2024 | Sold part of its stake in Yantai Dongxing Magnetic Materials (voting share 29.9% to 19.9%) | A gain of ¥26,777 million on the sale and revaluation was booked in the earlier year (company statement) |
| FY2025 (March 2025 to February 2026) | Completed Robot Plant No. 5. Announced a new US campus. The cucumber harvesting robot with JA Zen-Noh began operating on farms. Set up a joint venture with Astellas Pharma | The report’s “main efforts in FY2025” |
| December 2025 | Proposed MOTOMAN NEXT use cases at the International Robot Exhibition (iREX). Began collaborating with SoftBank on physical AI using AI-RAN, and jointly developed and demonstrated an office robot use case | Company statement. Scope and value of the joint work not confirmed |
| 25 May 2026 | Filed the annual securities report for the 110th fiscal year. Started the medium-term plan “Dash 35” (FY2026 to FY2029) | Closing review of the earlier plan “Realize 25” |
7. What comes next
In the annual securities report Yaskawa sets out the medium-term plan “Dash 35” and priorities for FY2026. Targets and plans are the company’s own and are not accomplished fact Not yet confirmed.
(FY2026 to FY2029)Aims for a record operating profit of ¥100 billion. A whole-company target
For FY2026 the company plans higher sales and profit, citing strong demand mainly in AI and semiconductor-related fields (company plan). For robots, it names capturing investment by automotive makers and their suppliers, and expanding into fields where robots have been little used, such as food and medicine. The company defines physical AI as “combining our products with AI to realise use cases in areas that were hard to automate”.
The following are not stated in the sources we checked Not yet confirmed: robot-only sales, volume or profit targets; the production capacity of Plant No. 5; the timing and investment of the new US campus; and the mass-production timing and customers for the humanoid actuators.
8. What the company is aiming for in drones and robotics
This section includes points the company does not state directly. They are inferences read from primary sources, shown with their basis.
| What we read | Primary source basis | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Its strength is an integrated setup that owns core parts such as motors and controllers | Annual securities report: Robot Plant No. 5 for integrated motor and robot production, a policy to bring key parts in-house, and a plan to strengthen the core-parts line-up for AI robots too | Inference |
| It aims to offer physical AI as a platform that includes an edge AI computer and software, not only the robot arm | US site: ACU, a group of services, a development kit (Docker, gRPC) and a simulator; it says third-party models can also run | Inference |
| It is trying to reduce reliance on the automotive sector and widen into general industry, food, medicine and agriculture | Annual securities report: automotive capital spending was weak in Japan, the Americas and Europe in the year to February 2026; efforts in fields such as food and medicine are listed as policy | Sourced / Inference |
| It is approaching humanoids through the parts that drive the joints (actuators), not finished machines | Annual securities report: it will open humanoid and other markets “through key parts such as advanced actuators” and has started developing new actuators. No sale of a finished humanoid was found | Inference |
| In the year to February 2026, robot sales rose but profit fell because of large projects | Annual securities report: large projects in China and Asia lifted sales, while operating profit fell because of the value-added mix of those projects | Sourced |
On humanoid robots, the annual securities report says the company has started developing new actuators using the know-how of Tokyo Robotics, and its plan says it will work on “diverse physical AI markets, including humanoid robots, through key parts such as advanced actuators” Sourced. From this we read that Yaskawa may be looking at the position of supplying parts for the joints of humanoid robots rather than the humanoid itself Inference. This fits a company that builds servo motors and robots together, since small, light, high-output actuators for joints are an extension of that work. Customers, mass-production timing and prices are not stated and could not be confirmed Not yet confirmed.
9. Map of partnerships in drones and robotics
On SoftBank, the annual securities report says that “collaboration began in December 2025, and an office robot use case was jointly developed and demonstrated at iREX” Sourced. The form, value and term of the agreement are not stated Not yet confirmed. Tokyo Robotics is described in the report as a company “whose shares Yaskawa acquired in full”; when this happened could not be confirmed Not yet confirmed.
10. Technology, products and services
The robot products listed in the annual securities report are arc welding, spot welding, painting, handling, sealing and cutting, deburring and polishing, and clean and vacuum transfer robots for semiconductor and display plants; AI robots; collaborative robots; robots for biomedical use; peripherals; robot-based factory-automation systems; and cell simulators Sourced.
| Category | Content (company description) | Plain explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial robots (MOTOMAN) | Welding, painting, handling, assembly and more. The US site lists models searchable by payload, reach and use | Arm-like machines that repeat set tasks |
| Autonomous AI robots (MOTOMAN NEXT) | The robot recognises and judges its surroundings. Path planning, force control, vision and AI inference run as services on the ACU | Force control: adjusting force somewhat like a sense of touch |
| Simulator (YNX) | Builds virtual work cells and checks AI behaviour beforehand. Said to work alongside tools such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim | Digital twin: a virtual copy of a real machine used for testing |
| Development kit (ACU SDK) | Users can run Docker container applications on the ACU. Libraries such as ROS 2, OpenCV and TensorFlow can be used, it says | A door to openness; described as replacing the older proprietary environment (MotoPlus) |
| Standards guidance | The US site advises using ANSI/A3 R15.06-2025 (the US adoption of ISO 10218: 2025) for systems installed after 31 March 2027 | Safety standards are separate from product certification. The scope of certification could not be confirmed |
Servo motors that move robot joints generally use strong magnets (a general point). Yaskawa holds a stake in the magnetic-materials maker Yantai Dongxing Magnetic Materials (19.9% of voting rights; book value ¥30,549 million at the end of February 2026), and the annual securities report says that, for rare-earth-related regulation worldwide, it works to lower procurement risk through long-term relationships with domestic suppliers Sourced. The report does not say, however, which of its motors use that company’s materials Not yet confirmed.
The joint research with Institute of Science Tokyo is on ultralight actuators, with the goal of an ultralight collaborative robot. Making a robot lighter requires rethinking both structural materials and reducers (mechanisms that slow rotation and raise force) (a general point). The US site says NEX-series robots use high-inertia servomotors, but gives no materials or design details. It helps to read this with our explainers on permanent magnets and rare earths, joint actuators, speed reducers and gears, and structural materials for robots and drones.
11. The risks this company carries
| Risk | Content | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Weak automotive investment | In the year to February 2026, automotive capital spending was weak in Japan, the Americas and Europe. Automotive is named as the main market for robots, so results follow investment by automakers and their suppliers | Sourced |
| Falling margin | Robot operating profit fell 14.0%. The operating margin went from 10.0% to 8.3% (our calculation). The company cites the value-added mix of large projects | Sourced |
| Geopolitics, export controls and tariffs | Wider export controls, limits on technology transfer and higher tariffs could restrict development, production, logistics and sales | Sourced |
| Raw materials and parts | Steel and parts are sourced worldwide from many suppliers; changes in international relations could make supply hard to secure. Rare-earth-related regulation is also noted | Sourced |
| Exchange rates | Sales and purchases in US dollars, euros, yuan and others. Larger-than-expected swings could affect competitiveness and results | Sourced |
| Cyber risk to plants | The company treats its plant control environment as a key asset and is preparing for cyber attacks and unauthorised operation of equipment | Sourced |
| Monetising physical AI | Deployments and sales are not disclosed. Humanoid actuators are at the start of development | Not yet confirmed |
| Website suspension | The company sites have been suspended since the night of 21 October 2026 (PHP vulnerability). The company says no damage has been found. It affects how easily product information can be obtained | Sourced |
