Mujin develops and sells “intelligent robot controllers,” designated as a common platform for industrial robots. Even though conventional automation is suitable for repetitive work, it was difficult to install in environments where products and the surroundings are liable to change. This was due to the robots’ operations differing by the manufacturer and the complex settings.
Mujin, which has offices in the U.S., Japan, and China, said it has solved this problem using motion-planning technology. It provides robotics systems so factories and warehouses can automate heavy or simple work that previously had to be done manually.
