WATA AI Inc. is a South Korean technology company founded in 2019, headquartered in Jeonju, South Korea, with an R&D center at B-403, U-Space 2, 670 Daewangpangyo-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. The company employs approximately 25 people and has received investment from Magellan Technology Investment, Xinova Investment, Tech Incubator Program for Startup, Inlight Ventures, and IBK Changgong.

WATA AI describes itself as a spatial AI company focused on digital twin solutions and LiDAR-vision-based perception and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) systems for intelligent logistics. Its core technologies include 3D LiDAR-based real-time map generation, object recognition, semantic segmentation, and optimization of industrial 3D point cloud datasets.
The company's flagship product is WATON, an AI unmanned inventory inspection robot designed for warehouse environments. WATON automates the stocktaking process across various warehouse types including high-rack and floor storage. The robot uses real-time AI vision analysis and an autonomous driving system to automatically update inventory location and status, minimizing manual labor and reducing errors. WATA AI targets both autonomous and human-driven forklifts with its perception and SLAM platform, and its technology is also applicable to AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) systems in logistics.
At CES 2025, WATA AI won two Innovation Awards — in the AI and XR categories — for its AI logistics stocktaking robot. The company is expanding internationally, with initial overseas market focus on Singapore and Japan starting in 2025. WATA AI's platform addresses digital transformation of traditional warehouses by converging AI, digital twin, and 3D LiDAR technologies.
