HoloLab has joined Mitsubishi Electric’s MELFA Robot Partner program as a software partner, expanding its work in XR-based robotics and manufacturing automation. The company is also launching arm-pilot, software that lets operators control MELFA industrial robots remotely using hand tracking on XR devices.
The system captures the position and orientation of a user’s hand, allowing the robot to follow their movements. It connects directly with MELFA robot controllers through their real-time external control function. The software supports Meta Quest 3.
This happens keeping in mind the fact that there is an increasing scarcity of manpower in the manufacturing and logistics firms. Although machines can automate some tasks, there are other tasks which demand human thought process, particular skills, and adaptability. Also, some of these tasks can include hazardous chemicals, high temperatures, or even clean rooms.
The arm-pilot enables people to control robots from afar, making it possible to control complicated and non-routine operations involving small batch and high mix production tasks that are difficult to control using automation techniques.

Besides remote operations, this technology can have applications beyond this. With increased focus on physical AI, data collected from humans operating robots could be used to train AI to do these tasks autonomously. This gives teleoperation a role in both immediate factory operations and the development of future robotic capabilities.
HoloLab has been supporting digital transformation across manufacturing, construction and infrastructure using XR, AI and 3D technologies. In December 2025, it launched Xynapse AI for Enterprise with Beyondge, combining smart glasses, robots and AI in an enterprise service.
Through the MELFA partnership, HoloLab plans to work with Mitsubishi Electric and other partners to expand remote-control solutions. The company is also seeking manufacturing and logistics businesses interested in proof-of-concept projects and demonstrations of arm-pilot.
