Enactic
Enactic is a Tokyo company that builds Ena, a humanoid care robot for nursing homes, and OpenArm, an open-source robotic arm for physical AI research. It was founded in July 2025 as a spin-off of Reazon Holdings' in-house Human Interaction Lab, which had built Japanese speech-recognition models before turning to robotics; its co-founder and chief executive is Hiroto Yamamoto. Ena is designed to take physical work off caregivers in Japan's short-staffed care sector: folding laundry, collecting meal trays, tidying rooms, handling soiled items, cleaning tables, restocking supplies and helping with wellness checks. More than 70 Japanese care facilities are working with Enactic on Ena ahead of a planned beta launch in late 2026. OpenArm, released in July 2025 and available worldwide from October 2025, is a fully open-source bimanual arm for contact-rich tasks; it has been added to NVIDIA Isaac Lab, and OpenArm 2.0 followed in May 2026.
๐กNotable Achievement: Enactic was spun out of Reazon Holdings' Human Interaction Lab, and more than 70 Japanese care facilities are working with it on the Ena care robot ahead of a late-2026 beta.

Ena
Manufactured by Enactic
Ena is a next-generation physical AI humanoid service robot developed by Tokyo-based robotics company Enactic (founded by Hiro Yamamoto). Engineered to live alongside humans in chaotic and dynamic environments like care homes and domestic dwellings, Ena builds upon Enactic's OpenArm physical AI manipulation platform. The robot is designed with a safe, compliant exterior to prevent accidental injury while executing fine-motor domestic tasks such as washing dishes, sorting laundry, and preparing items. Leveraging an ultra-fast teleoperation-to-autonomy flywheel, Ena trains Vision-Language-Action (VLA) neural policies with as few as 30 to 50 human demonstrations, transitioning from remote supervisory assistance to end-to-end autonomous physical intelligence.
