CYBERDYNE Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “the Company”) has agreed with Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), a Malaysian government-established technical university, on comprehensive collaboration focusing on research and human resource development in the field of Cybernics toward social implementation.
This comprehensive collaboration aims to link university education and research with industry–academia collaboration, underpinned by the Company’s Cybernics technology, which integrates bio/medical domains with AI, robotics, and information systems. Through this collaboration, the Company and UniMAP will share UniMAP’s strengths in partnerships with medical-related institutions and its engineering and technical expertise, together with the Company’s Cybernics technology and business experience cultivated in medical, welfare, and industrial fields. The objective is to promote social implementation across diverse domains in Malaysia, foster human resources, and advance international cooperation.
UniMAP is a technical university established by the Malaysian government, positioned as an institution with strong capabilities in engineering and technical education. While fulfilling its role as a provider of technical higher education domestically, the university is also actively advancing internationalization efforts, including within the ASEAN region.
The Company has been expanding its operations in Malaysia, primarily in the medical field under initiatives led by the government-linked Social Security Organization (PERKESO). (The Malaysian National Neuro-Robot-Cybernics Rehabilitation Center, initiated by the Malaysian government, is scheduled to officially open this year.) At present, Malaysia has become the Company’s second-largest business region after Japan. The collaboration with UniMAP builds on these local business activities to strengthen cooperation in education and research, and is expected to contribute to the development of human resources and technical foundations over the medium to long term.
In addition, the Company has been expanding its international network for Cybernics technology—spanning global business development, research and education, and human resource cultivation—through collaborations with leading overseas universities, including National Taiwan University and Carnegie Mellon University (including the Pittsburgh regional group). At EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, the Company presented its latest technologies under the theme of “HCPS-Integrated Cybernics with Physical AI.” Through the collaboration with UniMAP, the Company will further promote research and development, human resource development, and international exchange in Malaysia and the ASEAN region, while advancing efforts toward the social implementation of Cybernics technologies in ways that respond to local needs.
