Canon stated that it has recently deepened its AI strategy collaboration by investing in 'JieJie Intelligence.' This initiative will integrate Linker Vision’s capabilities in AI visual recognition, generative AI, and city-scale AI surveillance platforms. By leveraging NVIDIA’s high-performance AI inference architecture through the NVIDIA AI ecosystem and Metropolis platform, Canon aims to create an integrated one-stop smart city solution combining 'high-end optical imaging + AI visual analysis + edge computing + urban management platform.' This will not only enhance competitiveness in large government tenders and enterprise projects but also further increase product value-added.

Canon emphasized that from smart cities to smart factories, and extending to humanoid and service robots, AI vision will be a core technology in the future multi-trillion-dollar market. In recent years, besides continuously expanding in AI smart cities, Canon has been monitoring emerging robotics startups such as Mantis Robotics, Agility Robotics, and Japanese humanoid robot ventures through its group investment strategy. By integrating the group’s strengths in optics, AI algorithms, vision sensing, and smart manufacturing resources, Canon expects to seize the next wave of growth opportunities in the AI robotics industry.

Looking ahead to the second half, with continued global demand for AI computing, accelerated smart city development, and the robotics industry entering full commercialization, Canon anticipates benefiting from increasing penetration of AI image applications, a higher proportion of premium products, and the gradual realization of strategic partnership benefits—bringing new growth momentum to future operations and profitability.
