KDDI Introduces AI and Robotics-Based Office Design Service
In August 2025, KDDI Corp. unveiled a groundbreaking service aimed at designing and operating buildings equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and robots. This service, which covers a wide range of structures from offices and factories to warehouses, stores, and stadiums, is set to revolutionize infrastructure development [1].
The core objective of this service is to integrate AI and robotics from the planning stage of construction, relocation, or renovation. By anticipating the needs for electrical wiring and robot traffic during early design, the service helps avoid costly and time-consuming adjustments later in the building process [1].
Masatoshi Natani, a Managing Executive Officer at KDDI, highlighted the goal of making offices more attractive to secure talent. He believes that creating innovative and appealing workspaces through AI and robotics integration can help companies overcome hiring challenges [1].
Starting in fiscal 2026, KDDI plans to offer free generative AI tools that assist clients by proposing office interiors and equipment from multiple vendors and managing layout processes. This move is expected to enhance customization and operational efficiency [1].
The service targets clients primarily in Japan and Southeast Asia. KDDI aims to generate 80 billion yen in revenue from the new service in fiscal 2028 [1].
In summary, KDDI's service not only streamlines construction and renovation by preempting technical needs but also supports companies in attracting skilled employees through innovative and attractive workplace designs. This service is a testament to KDDI's ongoing efforts to optimize building design and operation.
