A humanoid robot project still in development, FIRE-BARI-ON, goes on display at Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB), a startup support hub in Tokyo's Yurakucho, for a limited time from September 14 through the end of November 2026. The project is being developed by BRAVE ROBOTICS, Inc. (headquartered in Edogawa, Tokyo; representative: Kenji Ishida).
This is a chance to see a real machine in the middle of a challenge, not a finished product. It will normally be shown as a static display, and around Tokyo Innovation Base tour days, a remote-operation experience for the upper body is planned, using a miniature robot-style controller with the development team on hand.
Exhibition venue
A designated area on the 1st floor of PARK at Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB)
Regular display
Static display (face and shoulder lights lit, chest display shown)
Experience opportunities
Mainly planned around the Tokyo Innovation Base building tours and networking events held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month
Admission
Free (TIB membership registration required to enter)
What You Can See at This Exhibit
- An up-close look at the machine in development: FIRE-BARI-ON is conceived with both a humanoid form and a four-wheeled vehicle form, and the exhibit introduces where its development currently stands.
- A sense of presence through light and display: normally, the face and shoulder lights are lit and the chest display is shown.
- A remote-operation experience with a miniature robot-style controller: mainly around the Tokyo Innovation Base building tours and networking events, an upper-body remote-operation experience is planned with the development team on hand.

About the Experience Opportunities
Mainly around the Tokyo Innovation Base building tours and networking events held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month, the development team plans to be at the venue, offering an upper-body remote-operation experience using the miniature robot.
Depending on requests from visitors or the facility, additional experience opportunities may be arranged when the development team or staff are able to supervise. The schedule and content may change or be canceled depending on the machine's development status, venue operations, and safety checks.
About Safety Operations
Since this is an exhibit at a public facility used by an unspecified number of people, operations combine securing the machine in place, preventing it from tipping over, and keeping a safe distance from visitors. It is normally shown as a static display, with no walking or transformation movements performed. Any experience involving movement takes place only when the development team or staff are present and able to manage safety.
About FIRE-BARI-ON
FIRE-BARI-ON is a project under development with the concept of both a humanoid robot form and a four-wheeled vehicle form. Through an original robot character design, it aims to be a bridge connecting human imagination with the challenge of technology.
Rather than presenting a finished product, this exhibit offers a chance to encounter a machine that is still in development, along with the technology, people, and community supporting its growth.
