TriOrb develops ball-driven omnidirectional mobility platforms for production lines and logistics environments. Its industrial mobile robots use a ball-wheel mechanism to move precisely in any direction, supporting transport and automation inside factories.
Market context
Differentiated Japanese industrial robotics builder focused on mobility constraints that conventional wheeled AMRs struggle with, including tight aisles, gratings, uneven floors, and coordinated heavy-load transport.
