Further, the government is increasingly prioritizing the dissemination and development of medical equipment that deploys robotics technology. Accordingly, the government encourages the dissemination, implementation, and research of technologies like surgical assistance robots that relieve the duties of medical personnel and patients. In addition, the country faces the challenges of a fast-growing geriatric population and low birth rates. Therefore, the continual use of robots in welfare and caregiving is set to minimize the burden on caregivers alongside offering the elderly electronic companions with great communication capabilities.

Furthermore, societal demands are driving the research and development of disaster-response robots for conducting operations essential to emergencies, inspecting the interiors of structures, and rescuing those impacted by large-scale disasters. As a result, advancements in robotics are set to promote the implementation of SLAM technology, with Japan expanding its use of technology in a multitude of industries.

Japan has been among the leading regions for technological advancements, given its intense inclination to incorporate new technologies. Also, India and Japan signed a Project Arrangement in July 2018 that entails cooperative research on the Visual SLAM-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Augmentation Technology for UGV/robotics. Additionally, the companies are launching SLAM technology-based augmented reality devices in the country. For instance, Nreal, an augmented reality (AR) technology company, collaborated with two domestic telecom operators to launch offline and online sales of its AR smart glasses. Besides, Kudan Inc is among the SLAM technology leaders in the region.

The Japan SLAM technology market segmentation includes mapping, type, and application. The application segment includes autonomous vehicles, augmented reality (AR), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and robotics.

SLAM technology enables robots the ability to move autonomously. Also, it equips the robots to collect data about their environment and simultaneously track their position alongside preparing live maps of their surrounding in real-time. It is majorly used in security, cleaning, and industrial robots.

In addition, SLAM technology has large-scale potential in robotics. At the same time, it is facing several challenges ranging from technical implementation to financial viability and skepticism concerning the robots’ autonomy. Although most of these challenges are temporary, with the limitations projected to diminish in the coming years.

Autonomous vehicles are becoming popular in Japan due to their long-term benefits. Major automobile manufacturers and tech giants are collaborating to share their domain expertise to develop fully autonomous cars. However, such cars need the highest degree of accuracy, which can only be achieved through SLAM technology. As a result, market players are incorporating SLAM technology into their self-driving cars, given its great precision and cost efficiency.

Some of the leading companies in the Japan SLAM technology market are Omron Adept Technology Inc, Kudan Inc, SMP Robotics, Wikitude, etc.

SMP Robotics is a leading developer of autonomous robot technologies worldwide. The company offers all-surface smart security, all-weather, turn-key, and artificial intelligence-powered robots that work independently using real-time obstacle avoidance, hydrogen fuel-cell technology, and face recognition. It is headquartered in Sausalito, California, the United States.

One of its key products, the Outdoor Security Robot SMP S5.2 series, has intelligent surveillance with face recognition and human tracking.
