Japanese Electronics Giant Deploys Humanoid Robot Greeter in Tokyo

Toborlife AI May 30, 2025

A new kind of store greeter is turning heads in Tokyo. One of Japan’s top electronics companies has officially introduced an ai human robot, Hikari, designed to welcome customers and support them during their visit. This launch combines artificial intelligence with real-world retail needs, offering a fresh take on how robots can serve people in everyday spaces.

A Human-like Robot Built for the Real World

Hikari is not a concept model or a demo prototype. It’s a fully-operational AI human robot by Unitree developed to support retail engagement at a commercial level. 

Built with a combination of advanced gesture tracking, real-time natural language processing, and facial expression mirroring, Hikari is designed to greet customers, answer product-related questions, and offer tailored tech recommendations.

Unlike traditional customer service kiosks, Hikari reacts in real time to facial cues, head movements, and speech tone. This creates a more responsive and natural interaction. 

Customers can ask about products, request help locating items, or get suggestions based on their interests. The goal is not to replace staff but to extend support, improve efficiency, and make shopping more engaging.

How Hikari Delivers Real-time Interaction that Feels Natural?
Hikari does more than just welcome people at the entrance. It’s designed to actively support customers during their visit using advanced robotics and AI. The system is built with gesture recognition, facial expression tracking, and natural language processing — technologies often used in high-end research and enterprise settings. The goal is simple: make robot interactions feel more like real conversations, not commands.  These features help Hikari respond faster, understand people better, and adjust based on how each person feels or behaves.  Here’s how each part works in detail:
  • Gesture Recognition for Smarter Responses
Hikari can recognize hand signals like waving, pointing, or beckoning. If a customer gestures toward a product area, the robot can provide directions or suggest items nearby. This removes the need for touchscreens or extra steps. It’s fast, hands-free, and intuitive.
  • Facial Expression Tracking for Emotional Awareness
By tracking facial expressions, Hikari can detect if someone looks confused, interested, or pleased. It then adapts its posture, voice tone, and reply speed to match the customer’s mood. This makes the interaction more natural and reduces frustration, especially for first-time visitors.
  • Natural Language Processing for Everyday Conversations
Hikari understands spoken Japanese without requiring specific commands or scripted phrases. Customers can speak normally, and the robot will reply with relevant, context-aware answers. This makes it easier to ask questions about products, availability, or services.
  • Real-Time Support That Lightens Staff Workload
With these combined features, Hikari can answer FAQs, suggest tech options based on preferences, and handle common service needs. It acts like an extra team member, helping visitors while giving human staff more time to handle detailed requests.
Designed for Scale, Ready for Expansion
The Tokyo deployment is just the beginning. Hikari will soon be introduced at airports, expos, and other high-footfall locations.  By 2026, the plan is to roll out the humanoid platform across tech exhibitions, public spaces, and service centers throughout Japan. In high-traffic environments, speed and clarity are super important. Hikari is built to handle hundreds of customer interactions per day. With constant AI model updates and backend analytics, the robot improves continuously. It learns from each conversation to better understand tone, context, and customer behavior. This makes Hikari a strategic tool in both service delivery and brand experience.

From AI Movement to AI Conversation

At Toborlife AI, we’re closely watching how humanoid robots like Hikari represent a new class of AI human robots. While powerful units like the Unitree G1 focus on high-performance movement, agility, and endurance, Hikari takes a different role—one focused on communication, responsiveness, and emotional connection.

Both models reflect the growing need for robots that are not just smart, but also socially adaptable. Unitree, known for producing some of the most advanced robot dogs and humanoid platforms available today, is a leader in this space. 

As its distributor and brand partner, Toborlife AI brings these innovations directly to users, whether for education, research, public service, or retail deployment.

A Glimpse into What’s Next

The introduction of Hikari shows that humanoid robots are no longer future concepts. They’re being tested, refined, and used in real-world settings. Japan continues to lead in this space, and this latest move by one of its top electronics brands only strengthens that position.

The rise of AI human robots  is also creating new demand from companies seeking smarter, more flexible service solutions. 

If you’re considering robots for your own business or institution, now is the time to explore your options.

Ready to meet the future?

At Toborlife AI, we provide access to cutting-edge robots like the Unitree G1 and other next-gen platforms. These are not just machines—they’re tools for learning, working, and connecting.
