Mujin opens physical AI experience center in Suwanee, Georgia

Mujin held an opening ceremony for its M1 Experience Center on November 5 in Suwanee, Georgia. The center will demonstrate automation solutions for logistics and manufacturing using MujinOS, the company's robot control platform. Permanent exhibits will cover palletizing, unloading, picking and material handling.

Mujin has established a site to demonstrate MujinOS, which integrates and controls robots and material-handling equipment on a real-time digital twin, across multiple logistics and manufacturing processes. The center provides a venue for demonstrations and training, but its opening does not show on-site operating results or an automation rate; those should be assessed separately.

The significance of the center is that it is positioned not as a site to increase the number of robots deployed or production capacity, but as a place to demonstrate automated processes using MujinOS and share technical and operational methods. Its exhibits cover not only individual tasks such as palletizing and picking, but also the system for integrating and controlling robots and material-handling equipment on a digital twin. It therefore appears to be a site for explaining equipment-level control as well as the actions of individual robots. The opening itself, however, does not show on-site operating results or an automation rate. We previously reported on the company's award in Mujin wins Prime Minister's Award at Japan Startup Awards 2026. The award and the integrated control of physical equipment demonstrated at the new center are different measures, and should be considered separately when assessing the company's progress. The facility also focuses on a different aspect of on-site automation than NTT develops AI technology for cargo loading, which covered technology for predicting changes in the state of cargo after a robot handles it. Mujin's center is set to demonstrate integrated control, but the announcement does not say that it will demonstrate prediction of post-action states. In terms of its business structure, Mujin is adding demonstration and training functions in Suwanee to its U.S. base in Atlanta. The company's explanation cites the area's concentration of logistics hubs and access to talent from universities as reasons for choosing the location; this does not show that these factors have led to facility usage or deployment results. How the center will match digital-twin simulations with the behavior of physical equipment, and what skills its workshops and training will cover, remain points to examine in assessing its operations. Going forward, questions include the configuration of the permanent exhibits, the range of processes handled by physical equipment, and how evaluation results from the center will inform MujinOS updates and on-site control designs. The announcement does not provide the facility's utilization rate, the scale of its training programs, the configuration of its demonstration systems or deployment results. The center's role as an experience facility should be distinguished from automation results at actual operating sites.

MujinOS is a software platform that integrates and controls robots and material-handling equipment on a real-time digital twin. Mujin says it can flexibly respond to changing conditions at worksites. In addition to demonstrations, the facility will host technical workshops, workforce training and industry forums. Mujin opened its U.S. base in Atlanta in 2021. The company cites the area's logistics hub concentration and access to talent from institutions such as the Georgia Institute of Technology as factors behind its choice of location.
