MOVIN, a South Korean company specializing in AI-driven motion capture, has raised approximately $7.5 million in Series A funding, bringing its total capital to over $10 million. The funding round was led by IMM Investment, with participation from IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, Voyager Ventures, and others. MOVIN's innovative product, MOVIN TRACIN, utilizes LiDAR, camera vision, and proprietary AI to capture full-body motion without the need for suits or markers.
This funding is significant as it will enable MOVIN to expand its global presence, enhance its on-device multimodal AI capabilities, and establish a new R&D center in South Korea. The company has already generated around $750,000 in revenue within its first year and sold over 200 units across more than 20 countries, with North America being its largest market. Notably, MOVIN's technology has been utilized by industry leaders like Boston Dynamics for robot teleoperation and training.
MOVIN aims to leverage human movement data as a crucial element for AI interactions with the physical world. The company is also recognized as the only South Korean Launching Adoption Partner for NVIDIA SOMA, indicating its strategic position in the AI and robotics landscape. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
