Creative Execution

We decided to appeal the technical superiority by demonstrating the legendary Samurai skill called "Iai".Iai is the ultimate sword movement that is the most agile and flexible at the same time.We challenged to recreate the superhuman sword movement by Isao Machii,the master of Iai with Yaskawa's core industrial robot,MOTOMAN-NH24,How close a robot can get close to a man? Facing the eternal theme of the robot technology,we dear to exhibit the supreme technology of Yaskawa,and the endless curiosity behind it.

The movie was played more than 4 million times on youtube.It was picked up as a hot topic on such major media as TIME,CNN,The Wall Street Journal,The INDEPENDENT,earning the promotional value of more than 8,000,000 dollars.

With this film, we wanted to spread the name of “YASKAWA” a world wide known company. By "YASKAWA BUSHIDO PROJECT", we reproduced Japanese Samurai master's swordplay with MOTOMAN-MH24, while the industrial robot's performance is challenging its limitations of integrating "legerity", "accuracy" and "agility" at extremely high level. By showing our challenge, we believe that our audience could felt our Japanese diligent spirit and our passion toward technology.
