Vision

Holonomic World

Unlocking the limits of movement, creating a new civilization and culture.

Human progress has always mirrored the evolution of mobility— from bipedalism to the invention of the wheel.

While these breakthroughs shaped civilizations, society remains bound by constraints.

TriOrb proposes the “Holonomic World”— a realm where 360° mobility unlocks infinite potential for industry and humanity.

By fostering harmony between humans and robots, we strive for a more creative, liberated future.

Hello, Holonomic World. Let us break the chains of movement and build the next era of civilization.

Mission

Create the foundation of the next-generation industry with a mobility platform.

Behind our mission

Japan’s manufacturing industry is at a turning point.
Japan’s manufacturing, which once led the world, has fallen behind in the speed of market changes and is losing its international competitiveness.
The shift from mass production to a production model that uses “flexibility” and “speed” as weapons is urgent.
TriOrb’s technology has been refined for over 15 years from both research and practice.
What we are developing is not just an AMR or robot. It is a foundational technology that can be applied to any industry as a mobility platform.

This technology enables new value creation in any field where movement is required, not just manufacturing.
By creating dynamic, reconfigurable production systems that do not rely on fixed equipment, we are building the foundation of the next-generation industry.
We are starting a challenge to rebuild Japan’s industrial structure from the starting point of movement and show the world a new role model.
