Jizai Renames Its Customizable General-Purpose AI Robot "Mi-Mo" to "Palmimo"
Jizai Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Yuki Ishikawa; hereinafter “Jizai”) announces that it will rename its customizable general-purpose AI robot “Mi-Mo” to “Palmimo.” This change applies only to the product name, logo, and related notations; there are no changes to the product’s specifications, development policy, or planned offerings.
Details of the Change
With this change, the product names will be updated as follows.
| Former name | New name |
|---|---|
| Mi-Mo v0 | Palmimo v0 |
| Mi-Mo DevKit | Palmimo DevKit |
Scope: Product name, product logo, and notations on the website, social media, and other materials
Timing: In stages, beginning July 21st, 2026

Background
Since its debut at CES 2025 in January 2025, Jizai has advanced the research and development of its general-purpose AI robot under the name “Mi-Mo.” As part of building a stronger brand foundation for global business expansion, the company will rename the product “Palmimo.”
The new name “Palmimo” is a coined word combining “pal,” “palm,” and the former name “Mi-Mo.” It reflects our hope that the robot will be a trusted pal that stays by people’s side in daily life and work — as familiar and close as the palm of one’s hand.
About the “Palmimo DevKit”
The “Palmimo DevKit” is a compact, tabletop-sized development kit for a general-purpose AI robot, allowing developers and businesses to customize its movements and functions according to their objectives. It aims to realize a robot that understands its surrounding circumstances and makes decisions and takes action autonomously, based on visual, audio, and motion information.
Further details on the customizable general-purpose AI robot “Palmimo DevKit” are scheduled to be announced around summer 2026.
