Mujin

Mujin is a Japanese industrial robotics software company founded in 2011 in Tokyo by Ross Diankov and Issei Takino, which later opened additional offices in Guangzhou, Atlanta and Eindhoven. It targets warehouses and factories facing labor shortages, where conventional industrial robots need engineers to hand-teach every pick point and cannot adapt to mixed, changing loads.

Its core product, MujinOS, is a motion-planning controller that sits above off-the-shelf robot arms and plans pick, place and palletizing motions in real time from 3D vision input, removing the need for manual teaching. The platform covers bulk picking and pallet building/breakdown, and through its TruckBot line, container and truck unloading, and is deployed by logistics operators and manufacturers via system integrators.

1. Teachless motion planning: robots pick and place without manual point-by-point programming.

2. 3D vision integration: real-time perception guides handling of mixed, unstructured loads.

3. Palletizing and depalletizing: automates pallet building and breakdown for warehouses.

4. TruckBot: automates container and truck loading and unloading.

5. Fleet-level orchestration: coordinates multiple robots and conveyors within one facility.

6. Integrator-friendly deployment: works with third-party robot arms already installed on site.
