History
The foundation of Mobile Industrial Robots was laid in 2011 when founder Niels Jul Jacobsen created the first example of what would become a MiR robot using his son's LEGO bricks. The company was officially founded in Odense, Denmark in May 2013 with the idea of optimizing logistics in the global industry. Niels Jul Jacobsen was the only employee until October 2014.

In 2020 MiR launched the MiR250 and expanded with new regional offices and products. In 2021 the MiR250 Hook launched in May, MiR600 and MiR1350 launched, and a regional office opened in Seoul. In 2022 Teradyne combined AutoGuide Mobile Robots into MiR and Software 3.0 launched. In 2023 MiR Insights launched, and in 2024 the MiR1200 Pallet Jack launched.
