They have been at it seriously since the 70s, so it's no surprise they are leaders in this field. That said, they've had some misses too. Poured a lot of money into money pits (their AI efforts of old, "5gen computer" for example).

They have been doing it because they saw labour shortages in the future because of declining population they are solving a local problem. So far Japan has been the economic model many people show about what can go wrong. But the way I see it when the robot revolution comes well actually the robot revolution is already here when the ai revolution comes countries with declining and aging population will be a lot more stable than countries with young and growing population with little means to support or earn a living.
