Founded in 2016 by Sho Nakanose, GIATI is a provider of space robots in Japan. The company's expansion to the US marks a significant step in its growth and brings its space robotics products to a wider market.

"We are proud to have secured our first purchase order from a major local space company, which is a testament to the quality and value of our products and services," said Sho Nakanose, GITAI's CEO. "We are confident that our unique approach to agile development of space robotics will be well received by the US space industry."

The space robotics company will initially focus on the commercial space station support, and continuing the expansion of the California office. The company plans to hire 50+ new employees in the US in 2023 to support its growth.

Space Robotics Company Established California Presence in June

The company first opened its US headquarters in California in June of last year. The site is being used for engineering, manufacturing, and business development of general-purpose work robots in the United States space industry. The space robotics company has been working to recruit a workforce to support expansion of its business in response to what they describe as "extraordinary interest" to its advanced space robotics product line.

GITAI has rapidly grown in capabilities and scope since its founding five years ago, beginning with the development of sophisticated robotic arms for deployment in harsh space environments. GITAI established a partnership with Toyota for building a pressurized lunar rover as a part of agreement between Japan Space Agency and NASA and a contract from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. GITAI also successfully executed a robotic arm demonstration in the International Space Station together with the US space company, Nanoracks.
