Vision

Where frontier technology and humanity thrive together

In the world where this vision is realized —

  1. Jizai robots and products are a natural part of both work and daily life (one beside every person)
  2. The knowledge and skills passed down in the field live on into the next generation through frontier technology
  3. Technological progress is in harmony with nature and with human ways of being, enriching the world

Values

Move Fast

  • Start first, and move things forward with speed.
  • Keep taking on bold challenges without fearing failure or change.
  • Put every retrospective — success or failure — into words and share it, so each challenge becomes learning for the whole organization.

All for One

  • Everything is for success.
  • Go beyond your own specialty and role: we move as one toward the mission, and put achieving a big win as a team above everything else.
  • Debate constructively as professionals. Once a decision is made, respect it and commit together to making it happen (Disagree & Commit).

Be a Professional

  • Each of us brings deep expertise in our craft — and acts with strong ethics and a sense of responsibility.
  • Each of us takes ownership of raising our own limits and keeping ourselves in top condition, mentally and physically, to maximize our impact.
  • We obsess over the details of our products and services, and pursue quality to the very end, as professionals.

Interviews & Media

Interview by tech media Newbee (Part 1, in Japanese) — the social impact of AI robots, and the challenges physical AI can solve.
Part 2 (in Japanese) — the Mi-Mo (now Palmimo) prototype, reactions from around the world at CES, and how we think about hardware development.

Also featured in WIRED Japan, Interesting Engineering, NHK World, Nikkei, Forbes JAPAN, and many other publications in Japan and worldwide. “Mi-Mo” in these articles and videos is the former name of Palmimo.

Talk deck from the Physical AI Development Conference (July 2026, in Japanese) — on designing products where AI software and hardware advance together.

Team & How We Work

Jizai is a small, senior team of software engineers, robotics engineers, AI researchers, designers, and business builders. Our backgrounds span major tech companies, startups, and front-line research. Many of us work in flexible ways — full-time, contract, or alongside other work — and each of us moves with real autonomy, as a professional.

Our office is a lab in Tokyo that feels like a secret base, with our robots all around. What we build goes out to “the field” — CES, Miraikan, and beyond — so we can learn from how real people react, moving back and forth between research and real-world deployment.
