FX Palo Alto Laboratory, Inc. (FXPAL) was a research lab for Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd. FXPAL employed roughly 40 people, including 25 Ph.D. research scientists. In addition, FXPAL had a strong intern program with 10 summer interns each year from universities worldwide and as well as visiting researchers from Fuji Xerox Japan. There were three primary research areas: Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). Focus in IoT was on augmented reality and localization, in AI on text and image analysis and in HCI on visualization and interaction. A particular strength of FXPAL was the collaboration among researchers in these different areas, as well as with artists, designers and other non-academic employees.

FXPAL's mission was to provide Fuji Xerox with new technology and business ideas to augment its existing printer/copier business. Lab goals were to:

• Invent new technology to address issues of customers and society.
• Translate successful technologies into Fuji Xerox products.
• Find licensing opportunities for FXPAL intellectual property.

FXPAL was shut down in 2020, prior to the termination of the FujiFilm agreement with Xerox and its subsequent renaming as FujiFilm Business Innovation [1].
