MISSION PLAN

Dymon Co., Ltd. is a privately held, Tokyo-based robotic design company. Dymon’s approach to robotic development is to allow open innovation and collaboration with likeminded innovators. Dymon has been developing the Yaoki rover for eight years, and completed the rover's base technology in 2018. The Yaoki project has been selected by the the Toshin Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Start Up Factory, and is based in the Haneda area of Tokyo where innovative and ground-breaking technologies–like Dymon’s Yaoki–can be developed for the global market.
