Business Expanding Bear Robotics, Inc, a US company that offers robotics solutions, establishes a Japanese subsidiary in Tokyo

Bear Robotics, Inc was established in Silicon Valley, California in 2017. The company's autonomous robots serve food and clean up empty dishes in restaurants and medical facilities, and make deliveries in hotels and warehouses. It helps to reduce labor shortages and improve operational efficiency.

Its flagship product, the serving robot “Servi,” automates food delivery and bussing tasks in restaurants and healthcare settings, easing the workload of human staff. In addition, the autonomous mobile robot “Carti” handles goods transportation tasks in warehouses and factories, enabling broader applications across various industries.

In Japan, more than 3,000 restaurants have introduced the company's robots. Aiming to further expand its business, the company established a Japanese subsidiary, Bear Robotics Japan LLC, in Shibuya, Tokyo in May 2024.

JETRO's Invest Japan Business Support Center (IBSC) assisted the company with consultation on corporate establishment, including registration, taxes and labor matters, and introduced service providers including administrative scriveners, tax accountants, labor and social security attorneys.
