Algomatic Dynamics Raises 5 Billion Yen to Launch AI Hand Platform
DMM chairman Keiji Kameyama, who withdrew from robotics after about six years, is backing the startup again, and Algomatic Dynamics targets a domestic launch of its AI hand platform within 2026.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Algomatic Dynamics, a robotics and physical AI startup in the DMM group, raised 5 billion yen from DMM.com in its first funding round since its April 2026 founding. The company plans to publicly launch its AI multi-finger hand platform in Japan by the end of 2026. Its work spans motion data collection and learning, AI hand sales and maintenance, and entertainment AI toys.
The company was established on April 27, 2026, through a restructuring of Algomatic, a DMM group company, and operates under the mission "smoothness to all robots." Its stated aim is a technology base that works across different robots and sites rather than being tied to one machine or use case.
The funding is earmarked for hardware investment and computing resources. The business covers converting skilled workers' hand movements into learning data, selling AI hands as hardware and software packages with ongoing tuning, and developing bipedal character robots for entertainment.
Kameyama said he started a robot business 11 years ago and withdrew after about six years, but the recent pace of technical change convinced him to try again with CEO Yuki Minami.
