About RoboTruck
RoboTruck develops autonomous-driving systems for Japanese trunk-haul freight. Its work centres on full-size trucks and articulated semi-trailers operating between logistics hubs, where automated motorway driving can increase vehicle utilisation and separate highway movement from loading and unloading work.
The company develops perception, localisation and control for tunnels, backlighting, merging and lane changes, including proprietary algorithms for the steering dynamics of 16.5-metre articulated vehicles. A February 2026 public-road programme with Toyota Tsusho and major logistics operators covered thousands of kilometres on the Shin-Tomei route as RoboTruck prepares the technology and operating model for commercial service.
