TeamGRIT Expands Japan Presence via Robotics Software Joint Venture

TeamGRIT, global industry experts in ultra-low-latency robotics software and integrated robot operations, is expanding its presence in Japan through a joint-venture strategy focused on building scalable infrastructure for next-generation autonomous robotics.

The Korea-based company aims to enable practical autonomy for robots operating in complex outdoor, industrial, and infrastructure environments where reliable real-time data transmission remains a limiting factor.

While robots are increasingly deployed across applications such as disaster response, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and infrastructure inspection, their real-world effectiveness is often constrained by unstable communications, fragmented data streams, and incompatible operating systems. These challenges can prevent robots from transmitting critical video and sensor data in real time, limiting both remote operation and autonomous decision-making.

TeamGRIT addresses these constraints through a multimodal data connectivity architecture. Its proprietary multimodal streaming server, Moth®, synchronizes and transmits heterogeneous robot data—including video, thermal imagery, 360-degree camera feeds, LiDAR, and GPS—with end-to-end latency of less than 0.2 seconds. The system dynamically adapts to network conditions across LTE, 5G, and satellite communications, supporting stable real-time performance even in bandwidth-limited environments.

These synchronized data streams are integrated into CoBiz®, TeamGRIT’s AI-based real-time robot operations platform. The platform enables centralized monitoring and control of heterogeneous robots from multiple manufacturers through a single interface, allowing operators to assess situations remotely with near on-site awareness while reducing the need for human access to hazardous environments.

TeamGRIT’s software platform has been validated across a range of public-sector and industrial use cases in Korea, including disaster response, law enforcement, shipbuilding, and advanced manufacturing. Building on these references, the company entered the Japanese market three years ago by establishing Remote Robotics (R2), a joint venture with the Yokohama-based IT consulting firm Ankocare, to localize its technology and co-develop solutions aligned with Japan’s industrial requirements and regulatory framework.

Through the joint venture, TeamGRIT has conducted continuous proof-of-concept projects with Japanese partners, including the recent completion of a PoC with Toyota. The company is also exploring collaborations with Japanese consulting firms and smart city initiatives, reflecting growing interest in robotics platforms capable of supporting large-scale, real-world autonomy.

“Japan has the industrial depth, technological discipline, and long-term vision needed to define how autonomous robots will truly operate in society,” said KiRyeung Kim, CEO of TeamGRIT. “Through our joint venture, we are working with Japanese partners to co-create a shared robotics infrastructure—one that allows robots to move, sense, and make decisions reliably across cities, factories, and critical environments. Our goal is not short-term deployment, but to help establish a global standard for field-ready autonomy from Japan.”

Through its joint venture-led expansion, TeamGRIT aims to position Japan as a core hub for global collaboration in advanced robotics software, with an emphasis on long-term co-innovation, ecosystem development, and scalable partnerships.
