01 // AT A GLANCE
The Pioneer of Physical AI & Autonomous Robotics.
Before diving into the global demographic shift: here is who we are, what we build, and our footprint at a glance.
01 // THE UNIVERSAL BRAIN↗
Machine Intelligence Pioneer
Founded in 2011 by Dr. Rosen Diankov & Issei Takino. We don't manufacture robot arms; we build MujinOS—the software platform making any industrial machine intelligent and autonomous.
02 // #1 FUNDING IN JAPAN↗
$380M+ / ¥59.6B+ Raised
Ranked #1 in Japan startup funding with Series D completed. Backed by top institutional partners (NTT Group, QIA, SoftBank Vision Fund) fueling deep, long-term physical AI R&D.
03 // HIGHEST GOVERNMENT HONOR↗
Prime Minister’s Award (Grand Prix)
Winner of the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award at the Japan Startup Awards 2026—officially recognized by the Japanese government as the nation's premier deep-tech robotics pioneer.
04 // GLOBAL FOOTPRINT↗
500+ Team · 4 Global Hubs
Headquartered in Tokyo with regional hubs in the US (Atlanta), Europe (Netherlands), and China (Guangzhou). An English-first engineering powerhouse representing 30+ nationalities.
02 // WHY NOW
Digital AI Has Transformed Screens.
The Physical World Is Next.
Global supply chains and manufacturing face severe demographic decline and labor shortages. While LLMs automate digital workflows, the physical world still relies on exhausting manual labor and rigid, blind industrial machines.
STATUS QUO // AS-IS
Manual Labor & Blind, Rigid Machinery
Millions of workers trapped in repetitive, hazardous manual labor; traditional industrial robots remain blind, inflexible, and require weeks of manual point-by-point teaching for every layout change.
↓ THE PARADIGM SHIFT
OUR VISION // THE WORLD WE ARE CREATING
“Liberate humans from manual labor to make them focus on creativity, innovation, and making the world a better place.”
We turn industrial machines into autonomous, intelligent systems—solving the global supply chain crisis at its physical root.
03 // WHAT WE BUILD
One Unified OS for Every Robot and Automated Facility.
We don't manufacture robot arms. We build the universal brain—the MujinController powered by MujinOS—that makes any hardware intelligent, vendor-agnostic, and autonomous out of the box.
01 // APPLICATION LAYER
Depalletizing · Mixed Palletizing · Piece Picking · Part Feeding · Fleet WES
02 // THE BRAIN (MUJINOS & CONTROLLER)
Unified API · Real-Time Digital Twin · Motion Planning · 3D Vision
03 // HARDWARE LAYER (VENDOR-AGNOSTIC)
Any Robot (ABB, Fanuc, KUKA, Yaskawa, Kawasaki) + AGVs + 3D Sensors
04 // TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
Beyond Black-Box AI: Deterministic Intelligence for Reality.
In an industrial facility where multi-ton robots move at high speeds, "99% accuracy" means catastrophic collisions every day. Purely probabilistic, black-box AI isn't enough. We pioneered MujinMI (Machine Intelligence).
PROBABILISTIC "BLACK-BOX" AI
Trial-and-Error & Unpredictable Edge Cases
End-to-end black-box policies suffer from opaque failure modes, require massive site-specific retraining, and offer zero mathematical safety guarantees when multi-ton arms move at full speed.
MUJINMI // DETERMINISTIC PHYSICAL AI
Dynamic Trajectory Optimization + Closed-Loop Sensor Fusion + Geometric Modeling
We combine targeted 3D ML perception with high-precision geometric modeling, dynamic motion planning, and real-time sensor fusion. 100% explainable, zero-teaching required, and guaranteed collision-free execution.
05 // CORE ARCHITECTURE
The Architecture That Makes Robots See, Think, and Act.
Four tightly coupled real-time subsystems executing deterministically on the edge—bridging 3D perception and physical actuation in milliseconds.
01 // MOTION PLANNING↗
Real-Time Motion Planning
Computing optimal, collision-free trajectories in milliseconds across high degrees of freedom—without a single line of manual teaching.
02 // 3D PERCEPTION↗
3D Perception & Synthetic Data
High-speed 3D vision that handles chaotic lighting, reflective surfaces, and millions of unknown SKUs in real time.
03 // DIGITAL TWIN↗
Executable Digital Twins
Not just a 3D visualization. A real-time kinematic world model synchronized 1:1 with the physical cell, continuously fed by sensor fusion to enable dynamic trajectory planning.
04 // CLOSED-LOOP↗
Closed-Loop Autonomous Control
Ultra-low-latency feedback loops connecting vision, planning, and actuator control to recover from real-world disturbances on the fly.
06 // THE HARD PROBLEMS
Where High-Performance Computing Meets Hard Physics.
Why do top software engineers leave pure digital tech for Mujin? Because physical reality is the ultimate engineering constraint.
< 2.0ms
1. Hard Real-Time Constraints
You cannot throw infinite cloud GPUs at the problem. Your C++ and Python code must compute complex graph searches and kinematics in milliseconds on the edge.
9.8 m/s²
2. Unforgiving Physics
Gravity, friction, inertia, deformable packaging, and shifting center-of-mass. Your algorithms must conquer the messiness of the real world.
Multi-Robot
3. Multi-Robot Fleet Coordination
Synchronizing high-speed robot arms, conveyors, AS/RS cranes, and mobile robots (AGVs/AMRs) simultaneously without deadlocks or bottlenecks.
Scalable
4. The Industrial Scalability Crisis
Moving from one-off bespoke engineering to the world’s first standardized, out-of-the-box physical AI robot products.
07 // REAL-WORLD IMPACT
Not Lab Demos. Running 24/7 in the World’s Largest Supply Chains.
Our systems operate mission-critical production lines and logistics hubs for global industry leaders across retail, e-commerce, automotive, and manufacturing.
01 // LOGISTICS↗
Intelligent Depalletizing & Palletizing
Handling mixed-SKU, custom-stacked, and unstable loads at superhuman speeds with zero master registration.
02 // FULFILLMENT↗

High-mix, vision-guided picking and dense tote packing for high-velocity e-commerce fulfillment centers.
03 // MANUFACTURING↗
Factory Automation & Intralogistics
Precision part feeding, machining tending, and internal factory logistics for automotive and industrial production lines.
04 // FLEET WES↗

09 // CULTURE & OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Truth Lives on the “Gemba”.
In Japanese manufacturing, Gemba (現場) means "the actual place where value is created."
“You cannot debug gravity, friction, or sensor noise over a Zoom call. We work side-by-side on the physical floor, confront real-world constraints, and let reality drive our engineering.”
01Innovate with the highest speed and efficiency
Small, agile teams beat slow giants. We constantly innovate across every field with speed and efficiency.
02Never give up, never surrender
We keep fighting until the last second until the robot moves reliably. A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.
03Take initiative, be independent
Be the first to act and solve the root problem rather than wait. Don't find fault—find a remedy.
04Understand the big picture
Always clarify the "why"—how your engineering creates real value for customers and aligns with team goals.
05Pursue the highest quality
We don't build hobby toys; our products carry massive industrial responsibility. Persist in world-class quality.
06Inspire others to grow
Great things are built by teams. Respect differences across 30+ nationalities and inspire teammates to succeed.
07Be crazy about your job
Passion is the ultimate source of creativity and engineering power. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

12 // THE ON-SITE ADVANTAGE & WORKPLACE
In Physical AI, Robot Density Is Destiny. That’s Why We Build On-Site.
Simulators only take you 80% of the way. Solving the final 20%—where true breakthroughs happen—requires daily access to massive physical hardware and instant, face-to-face collaboration.
TOKYO HQ // ROBOT INNOVATION CENTER
01 // HARDWARE ADVANTAGE
TOKYO HQ
Massive On-Site Robot Fleet
Our Tokyo HQ houses an expansive Robot Innovation Center packed with dozens of live industrial robots, AGVs, and 3D sensors from every major vendor. Write code at your desk, walk over to the floor, and deploy to multi-ton machines in minutes.
02 // ON THE FLOOR VS. ZOOM
IN-PERSON
Face-to-Face Cross-Team Collaboration
We are proudly an on-site, in-person organization. When a high-speed trajectory fails or a custom gripper slips, software, vision, hardware, and deployment engineers gather directly around the physical robot cell to diagnose edge cases on live hardware—eliminating weeks of remote back-and-forth.
03 // GLOBAL TALENT INFRASTRUCTURE
30+ NATIONS
