With the increase in the use of robots in business, the income of Japanese robotics companies is also increasing.
More than 90% of Japan’s companies are medium and small businesses. As of March 31, 2016, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Labor, medium-sized companies with between 100 and 499 employees posted 1.1 million job vacancies. This is the highest in the last five years and almost 5 times the number of employees of the 500-employee company. In Japan, robots are not only used in manufacturing and construction, but also in food and beverage industries. Hotel services are being used. For example, Hen na Hotel near Tokyo Disneyland uses 140 robot and AI concierges for 100 rooms. In fact, this job can be done with 2 or 3 employees, said Yukiona Gai, a hotel manager. In any case, Japan, where the aging population is increasing along with the scarcity of human resources, will have to increase the use of human-replacing robots in the workplace.
