MIND AI and FortytwoMaru to Join 'Japan IT Week Autumn 2026'... Targeting Japan's AI Market

MIND AI and FortytwoMaru will participate in 'Japan IT Week Autumn 2026,' held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. MIND AI will unveil physical AI technology, while FortytwoMaru will unveil enterprise AI agent technology.

'Japan IT Week Autumn 2026' is an IT-focused trade show held from the 21st to the 23rd. The event will showcase technologies and services related to AI, cloud, security, software, and digital transformation, and this year it will run alongside Japan IT Week, DX, AX, sales, digital marketing, and e-commerce exhibitions.

At the exhibition, MIND AI will showcase its autonomous driving solution NAVICOM, its quadruped robot Jindobot, and its robot integrated control system RMS. Through these, it will unveil its autonomous driving and robotics-related product lineup.

NAVICOM is a technology that helps robots perceive their surroundings and supports autonomous movement. It is not limited to any specific robot and can be applied to robots in various forms.

Maum AI presented JindoBot, a four-legged robot equipped with AI-based autonomous driving technology, along with its robot management system (RMS). JindoBot is designed to carry out patrol and surveillance missions at industrial facilities and public spaces. RMS supports status checks, mission assignment, and operational monitoring while managing multiple robots through a single system. Maum AI has software technology that connects autonomous driving, mission execution, and integrated control.

Based on these technologies, MIND AI plans to identify cooperation opportunities in manufacturing, industrial facilities, and public safety in Japan. It aims to explore potential partnerships in these fields by highlighting a software configuration that covers robot operation and control.

MIND AI CEO Yoo Tae-jun said that in the era of physical AI, not only robots themselves but also AI technology is becoming increasingly important. He said the company intends to introduce its technology to the Japanese market through this exhibition and expand global business opportunities on that basis.

FortytwoMaru also participated in the event. The company is pushing to target Japan's enterprise AX market by putting SiteBunny, its website-specialized AI agent, at the forefront.

SiteBunny is a no-code SaaS that learns information from corporate homepages, FAQs, and PDF documents to answer questions from visitors and employees. The service is set up by registering a website address in the admin screen and then applying a script.

FortytwoMaru's RAG42, MRC42, and LLM42 are applied to the service. It answers based on the web pages it has learned and presents answers and sources at the same time. It can also handle questions in English, Korean, Chinese, and other languages on Japanese websites.

Available features include text chat and 'Virtual Human Mode,' which provides avatar voice and text responses. It also supports brand-specific UI settings and statistics for question ranking, usage volume, and log checks.

During the event, FortytwoMaru will conduct on-site demos and recruit official local partners in Japan. Its business plans for Japan include building a sales and adoption support system through local partners and expanding its SaaS supply chain in Japan.

FortytwoMaru CEO Kim Dong-hwan said demand among Japanese companies for AI transformation is shifting from the technology review stage to the adoption of AI agents for real customer response and work-efficiency improvements, and he said the company will expand local partnerships accordingly and pursue business results in Japan's AX market.
