Kanaria Tech Inc. is a Tokyo robotics AI company founded in July 2022 by students at Ritsumeikan University. It builds KRM (Kanaria Robotic Model), a foundational AI system that gives mobile robots social navigation, self-learning and awareness of the people around them. Robotics companies use it through plug-and-play APIs to reach high-level autonomy (L4-L5). The company also develops its own robots, Wakko and Ria, and runs real-world trials with a city in Shiga Prefecture. It graduated from Founder Institute in 2023.
Lists open engineering roles (AI engineer, robotics software engineer, field deployment engineer) on Japan Dev. Delivers its model through OEM hardware partners.
