Solomon Humanoid Robot Draws Attention in Tokyo, Demonstrates Physical Agent Capabilities

Solomon showcased its latest humanoid robot technology at iREX 2025 in Tokyo, presenting a seamless workflow of understanding instructions, perceiving the environment, navigating to a target, and completing tasks. The demonstration brought the concept of physical AI to life, attracting significant attention from Japanese industry attendees.

Humanoid robots currently face three main challenges to becoming true on-site physical agents: limited visual range, slow learning, and insufficient dexterity. These limitations often prevent robots from completing real-world tasks, even when they understand instructions.

Solomon’s humanoid demonstration at iREX achieved a world-first integration of remote recognition, precise 3D object localization, and autonomous navigation, overcoming the visual range bottleneck. The robot interprets human verbal instructions via a Vision-Language Model (VLM) and uses Solomon’s proprietary remote vision technology to locate objects from up to five meters away—whether reading analog gauges, counting products, or tracking moved objects. The vision system then guides the robot to approach and securely grasp the item, enabling a natural “understand, perceive, and act” workflow without pre-programmed scripts.

Unlike other humanoid demos relying on edited videos or remote controls, Solomon’s live demonstration lets the robot autonomously perform tasks based solely on human instructions. Attendees can test objects themselves, seeing the robot understand, locate, navigate to, and grasp items in real time—maximizing transparency and impact.

Powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, Solomon has integrated NVIDIA’s open Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundational model Isaac GR00T N into its Vision AI system, enabling the robot with semantic understanding, remote perception, and autonomous action. 

Solomon will also demonstrate this humanoid robotics technology at SEMICON Japan in mid-December. The exhibition’s new AI Humanoid STADIUM features only four companies worldwide: Solomon, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Unitree Robotics, and Boston Dynamics. Solomon is the sole Taiwanese company, highlighting Taiwan’s growing presence in humanoid robotics and AI vision.
