Japanese startup building MobiRobo, a lightweight low-power robotic arm able to work accurately on moving platforms such as AGVs and AMRs.
Kailas Robotics Inc. is a Japanese robotics startup founded in September 2022, with its headquarters in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture (Saitama Industrial Technology Center) and a U.S. office at the Japan Innovation Campus in Palo Alto, California. The company develops, manufactures and sells robotic arms and robot systems.
Its flagship product, MobiRobo, is a lightweight, high-performance six-axis robotic arm designed to operate accurately even on unstable or moving bases such as AGVs and AMRs, addressing labor shortages and complex tasks in manufacturing, logistics and service settings. The arm weighs about 2.5 kg and uses a low-power design consuming under 50 W, positioning it among the lightest and most energy-efficient in its class. It is operated intuitively via a tablet without specialized knowledge, and because the hardware, sensors and control are developed entirely in-house as an all-in-one system, integration effort and deployment cost are reduced. Target applications include picking and sorting automation, assembly-line support, inter-process material handling in coordination with AGV/AMR fleets, and remote or hazardous-environment work such as inspection with drones. The company holds a fundamental patent for its six-axis robotic arm (Japan Patent No. 7471705) and received a CES 2025 Innovation Award, winning the Global Pitch Battle at the CES 2025 Japan pavilion. Its founding team includes CEO Yoshihisa Shiomi (formerly PRODRONE USA) and CTO Altanbileg Adiyasuren.
