Telexistence

Telexistence, founded in 2017, is a Japan-based company operating in the manufacturing and robotics sectors. The company's mission encapsulates the spirit of innovation with the slogan, "Liberating humankind from simple, repetitive, and unsafe physical labor."

The concept of Telexistence was initially proposed by Dr. Susumu Tachi in 1980. It refers to the ability for humans to operate remotely in a different location than where they physically exist, revolutionizing how human presence can be extended and manipulated through advanced technological systems.

Telexistence aims to not only redefine robotics but also transform global operational structures. The company's recent success is underscored by a $170M Series B investment received in July 2023, with participation from prominent investors such as KDDI, Airbus Ventures, SoftBank, Globis Capital Partners, Monoful Venture Partners, and HH-CTBC Partnership. These strategic investments highlight the industry’s confidence in Telexistence’s potential to disrupt traditional labor paradigms.
