About
Mujin is a Japanese robotics software company that develops MujinOS — a real-time motion planning and AI autonomy platform that enables industrial robots to handle complex logistics and manufacturing tasks without human programming for each task. Unlike robot hardware makers, Mujin''s differentiation is software: its controller is compatible with robots from most major manufacturers and can optimize motion plans offline while integrating in real time with machine vision and programmable logic controllers. More than 1,000 robotic systems worldwide are powered by MujinOS, deployed across piece picking, bin picking, depalletizing, and full warehouse orchestration. In July 2025, Mujin established a Global Leadership Cabinet to accelerate international expansion of MujinOS. The company has raised $311M across six rounds, including a $233M round to expand regional engineering and support teams globally.
