SHANGHAI -- With manufacturers demanding robots that can work alongside people, China's JAKA Robotics will build a new factory in the Japanese automotive industry hub of Nagoya as it seeks to gain a technological edge in its home market.
"We have been making preparations through a consulting company, and will soon start construction," founder and CEO Young Li told Nikkei. The Shanghai-based startup will open an office in Japan ahead of the plant.
