Robotic avatar and telepresence platform with on-device speech AI
avatarin builds remote-presence robots and the platform used to book and control them, with a stack pairing NVIDIA Jetson, CUDA, TensorRT and Triton for edge inference with Whisper, NeMo and Hugging Face for speech. Engineering-only hiring is accelerating around voice AI for its newme robot, pointing to a push from remote piloting toward autonomous conversational service, with airport and contact-center workflows as near-term targets.
avatarin is a Tokyo-based company founded in 2020 as a spin-out of ANA Holdings. It develops robotic avatar systems that let people project their presence and skills into remote locations. Users find, reserve and connect to deployed avatars through a dedicated app. Its focus areas include telepresence, hospitality, robot fleet management and AI. The company has 11–50 employees and hires in Japan.
avatarin uses Python, C++, Java with Spring Boot, and Node.js, runs on AWS with Kubernetes, Helm and ArgoCD, and builds speech AI with Whisper, NVIDIA NeMo, Triton, TensorRT and Jetson edge hardware.
Current projects include speech AI for the newme robot, a hospitality-focused AI voice model, ASR pipelines deployed to Jetson boards, AI-driven airport service redesign and contact center AI handoff.
Yes. avatarin's hiring is focused entirely on engineering in Japan, spanning junior to senior levels, and hiring velocity is accelerating.
