About
About Mujin, Inc.
Mujin develops robot control and perception systems for warehouse and factory automation. MujinController coordinates industrial arms, grippers, vision, conveyors and cell equipment, using motion planning and environment models to automate tasks that would otherwise require application-specific robot programming.
The company packages this technology into systems for depalletising, palletising, case handling, picking and truck or container unloading. Mujin is therefore primarily a control-and-integration provider that works with third-party robot arms as well as its own configured cells. Cell performance depends on the selected robot, gripper, item mix, perception setup and surrounding material-handling equipment.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-03 - Deployment - Mujin deploys two mixed-container depalletizing cells at Matsuda Denki
The production system handles about 5,000 containers and 25 tonnes of lifted material per day. Mujin reports that the target process moved from three workers to zero and saves 5,856 labour hours per year. The cells use 3D vision plus real-time grasp and collision-free path planning in MujinOS.
Source - 2026-06-11 - Deployment - TEPCO Logistics introduces MujinRCP robotic case picking in Tokyo
The case study describes MujinOS-powered robotic case picking and mixed-case palletizing. The deployment targets electricity-infrastructure logistics workflows with mixed materials and variable cases. The deployment places TEPCO Logistics's technology into warehouse automation and material-handling workflows beyond a lab-only setting.
Source - 2026-01-12 - Capability - Mujin integrates Zivid 3D vision for factory automation
Zivid 3 XL250 captures complete pallets and bins from roughly 3–4 meters with low-noise, high-resolution point clouds and millimeter-level accuracy, including on reflective materials. The camera’s small baseline reduces occlusion, supports standard pallet sizes and can capture a full point cloud in under 500 milliseconds for demanding picking workflows. Mujin became an early Zivid 3 customer and launch customer; the companies describe improved stability, lower engineering effort and a path toward success rates above 99.9% for multi-SKU depalletizing.
