On May 17, 2026, ineRobo held a demonstration event for rice seeding robots in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, in collaboration with Tmsuk and DEN-No. The event showcased the 'Raicho 1' robot, offering a practical smart agriculture solution to address labor shortages and an aging farming population.

On May 17, 2026, ineRobo Inc. (CEO: Takeshi Katagiri) conducted a live demonstration of rice seeding in paddy fields using robotics, held in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture, in partnership with Tmsuk Co., Ltd. and DEN-No.

The event featured the 'Rice-Making Robot Raicho 1,' developed by Tmsuk. With labor shortages and an aging workforce becoming critical issues in agriculture, the demonstration presented concrete solutions for labor-saving and automation through robotics, allowing participants to experience the potential of smart agriculture firsthand.

The event was attended by approximately 30 participants, including farmers, university students, investors, and industry experts. During the demonstration, attendees observed the robot entering the paddy field and stably sowing seeds while navigating. The Raicho 1 can perform row sowing, with the number of units adjusted according to the shape and size of the fields.

Moving forward, ineRobo will leverage the feedback gathered from this event to optimize robot operations for real-world requirements and accelerate the development of the 'Small-Scale Rice Farming Matching Platform' in collaboration with SRE Holdings Corporation.
