The Shimizu Humanoid is a bipedal humanoid robot that Shimizu Corporation, one of Japan's largest builders, is trialling on its own construction sites as part of a full-scale 'AI robot' (physical AI) programme announced on July 8, 2026. In a trial at the Torch Tower site in Tokyo (Tokiwabashi Project), the robot autonomously walked a pre-set route at 1.0 m/s while holding a camera, sensing and judging site conditions.
