About
About Muso Action
Muso Action develops Muso-roid, a software package combining industry-specific vision-language-action models with force control for general-purpose robots. A task can be introduced through imitation examples and then adjusted through text or spoken instructions, reducing conventional programming and reteaching when objects or work sequences change.
The company targets irregular light-duty work such as picking and kitting in manufacturing, logistics and retail, where contact forces and item variation make fixed automation difficult. Its commercial model is designed around monthly deployment rather than a large upfront software purchase. Muso Action is an early-stage software developer, so current maturity centres on adapting foundation-model behaviour to selected customer workflows rather than a broadly proven autonomous workforce.

Events
- 2026-10-14 - Demonstration - Muso Action advances Daikin’s Sakai kitting trial to Phase 2
Phase 2 runs July–November 2026 and uses the Muso Physical AI Kit at Daikin’s Sakai Works. Daikin staff collect data, build models and validate them through a no-code workflow. Phase 1 combined office and simulated-environment data with a small on-site dataset; the collaboration follows a December 2025 memorandum.
