Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mujin is a verified Series D industrial robotics leader (raised $233M in Dec 2025) with high real-world utility in logistics and manufacturing. Despite the low-quality user submission (e.g., 'everyone' as audience, missing revenue), external verification confirms it is a 'unicorn-scale' company with global partners (Accenture, NTT). The score reflects its proven technology and market dominance, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' section due to the lazy submission data.

Description
Mujin is a company which develops and sells \"intelligent robot controllers,\" designated as a common platform for industrial robots. Conventional robots, even though they are suitable for the automation of repetitive work, were difficult to install in environments where handled products and the surroundings are liable to change, due to the robots’ operations differing by manufacturer and the complex settings. Mujin has solved this problem using technology called motion planning, and is providing solutions in which heavy/simple work done by humans at the logistics/manufacturing scene are automated by robots.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWzEO2r69BU\u0026feature=emb_title\n\nMujin is proud to be based in Japan, a country with some of the highest manufacturing standards and the most deployed automation systems in the world. Here you will use and create cutting-edge tools and processes for real world robotics deployment.\n\n\nWant to know us more?\nhttps://mujinspire-en.mujin.co.jp/\nMUJ INspire - delivering the \"reality\" of Mujin\n\n*************************************************************************************************\nVisa/international travel restrictions due to COVID-19 have forced us to slow the process and, in some cases, add several months of delay for bringing onboard new Mujin employees. Consequently, until further notice we may prioritize candidates whom we believe can start employment as expected in Japan on our desired date. We're keeping the situation under review and we will adjust our position as relevant circumstances change.\n*************************************************************************************************
