Company profile
researched Aug 2026SENSYN ROBOTICS, Inc. (γ»γ³γ·γ³γγγγ£γ―γΉ) is a Tokyo-based company that develops software and solutions applying AI, IoT and robotics β principally drones β to operations in social and industrial infrastructure. Its stated focus areas are facility and equipment inspection, disaster prevention and damage assessment, and security and monitoring, with the goal of automating field operations that are affected by labor shortages, aging infrastructure and safety constraints.
The core product is SENSYN CORE, a business automation and integration platform whose components can be combined to build operation-specific applications. Modules include SENSYN CORE Pilot (automatic flight route design on 3D maps, including routes around roofs, walls and steel towers), Datastore (cloud management and comparison of drone and camera imagery for visual inspection), Monitor (simultaneous display of multiple drone feeds and wearable cameras, with URL-based sharing to external stakeholders), Mapper (orthophotos, 3D models from point clouds, surveying and volume calculation), AI (deep-learning detection of concrete cracks, tower and bridge rust, and solar panel or infrared anomalies), Connect (a drone connection framework supporting DJI as well as Japanese manufacturers such as ACSL and Enroute), API (external system integration, including NTT Data's airpalette UTM), and Edge (onboard control software enabling autonomous flight and ground-robot travel using LiDAR SLAM and marker recognition, including in GPS-denied indoor environments). The company also offers applications such as POWER GRID Check for transmission facility inspection, the GEMBA CONNECT facility management application, and an autonomous drone base positioned as a Drone-as-a-Service offering (SENSYN DRONE HUB, alongside the earlier SENSYN FLIGHT CORE automation platform).
SENSYN ROBOTICS delivers both packaged services and joint projects in which it works with customers from problem identification through strategy and software development. Published applications span wind power generation inspection with Hitachi Power Solutions, transmission facility inspection with Chubu Electric Power Grid, automated tunnel patrol with Fujita, indoor and outdoor patrol with Takenaka Corporation, plant equipment inspection applications for ENEOS, and a temporary construction elevator monitoring system with Penta-Ocean Construction.
Business model
The company sells software and solutions built on the SENSYN CORE platform to enterprise and infrastructure operators, combining product deployment with consulting-style joint development projects that run from problem definition and strategy through application development. It also provides consulting services, for example for power transmission facility inspections with Chubu Electric Power Grid, and positions itself as a Drone-as-a-Service provider.
Traction
Published customer deployments include wind power inspection with Hitachi Power Solutions, transmission facility inspection with Chubu Electric Power Grid, tunnel patrol automation with Fujita, indoor/outdoor patrol with Takenaka Corporation, plant inspection applications for ENEOS, a temporary elevator monitoring system with Penta-Ocean Construction, and full deployment of the POWER GRID Check application at a general chemicals manufacturer. The GEMBA CONNECT facility management application was deployed at public facilities in Niseko, Hokkaido, and the company was selected for NEDO's initiative on software development platform construction in the robotics field.
Latest developments
Recent announcements include a capital and business alliance with Kobe Steel to advance manufacturing-site DX (2026-08-19), development of autonomous flight drone technology for railway track environments (2026-06-10), a basic joint development agreement with Daito Trust Construction (2026-06-02), automated volume measurement in SENSYN CORE Mapper (2026-05-07), IoT-linked real-time visualization in GEMBA CONNECT (2026-03-18), a jointly developed simultaneous three-blade wind turbine imaging feature with J-POWER (2026-02-19), an on-premises delivery structure for DJI FlightHub 2 (2026-02-12), and a business alliance with Chubu Electric Power Grid on drone and AI technology development and consulting (2026-02-09).

Market position
The company describes itself as a leading company in social infrastructure DX and as a Drone-as-a-Service provider in Japan; it is listed among J-Startup companies and is an alumnus of JETRO's Global Startup Acceleration Program (Plug and Play Japan '22 Global Preparation cohort), and is categorized at a stage described as beyond Series D.
The company combines a modular platform spanning device control, data management and AI analysis with drone-vendor-agnostic connectivity (DJI plus Japanese manufacturers ACSL and Enroute), edge autonomy that functions without GPS via LiDAR SLAM, and domain-specific applications co-developed with infrastructure operators, allowing operation-specific applications to be assembled from reusable components.
Technology
SENSYN CORE is an application development and business automation platform composed of interoperable modules for robot route planning, device control, data management, analysis and external system integration. It applies deep learning image analysis to detect anomalies such as concrete cracks, corrosion on steel towers and bridges and solar panel defects, adds generative AI-based image diagnosis for infrastructure, and supports 3D mapping, orthophoto generation, point-cloud modeling and automated volume measurement. Edge software running on onboard computers enables autonomous drone flight and ground robot travel via LiDAR SLAM and marker recognition, including in GPS-denied environments, and the platform connects to DJI hardware (including DJI Dock 3 and an on-premises FlightHub 2 delivery structure) as well as Japanese drone makers ACSL and Enroute.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise engagement in Japan, executed through case-study deployments with major corporates, business alliances and joint development agreements (for example with Chubu Electric Power Grid, J-POWER, Daito Trust Construction, Chiyoda X-ONE Engineering and Penta-Ocean Construction), together with public-sector demonstrations, seminars and government-linked programs.
Operators of social and industrial infrastructure and large Japanese corporates, including electric power and grid companies, energy and chemical producers, construction and engineering firms, plant operators, and public-sector bodies such as municipal facilities and fire departments.
Geography
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, at 1-28-1 Oi, Shinagawa-ku (Sumitomo Fudosan Oimachiekimae Building, 4F), with customers and deployments across Japan including public facilities in Niseko, Hokkaido; the company states an intent to offer solutions developed in Japan to other markets.
History
SENSYN ROBOTICS was established on October 10, 2015. Teruaki Tsukamoto joined as CFO in August 2018 and Takuya Kitamura joined in October 2018, becoming CEO; Tomofumi Ueno joined as COO in 2019. The company built out the SENSYN CORE platform and earlier offerings including SENSYN FLIGHT CORE and the SENSYN DRONE HUB autonomous drone base, and in 2025-2026 expanded into generative AI image diagnosis, facility management software, integrations with DJI Dock 3 and FlightHub 2, and capital and business alliances with industrial partners.
