Join MUJIN on their pursuit of "a fully automated world", to liberate the work force from hard manual labour with CEO Mr. Issei Takino, and how UTEC's relationship with MUJIN evolved from MUJIN's very inception.

MUJIN, Inc was started to create a solution that embeds intelligence in industrial robots and in 2019, it announced their partnership with Fast Retailing Co., to accelerate full automation of warehouses.

This week we share the story of MUJIN, Inc., who enables industrial robots to be truly "intelligent" by installing 3D vision-based “eyes” and a robotic controller which enable the robot to make its own decisions while performing an operation. ut-ec.co.jp/english/story/…
