Bring OpenArm to life

We manufacture OpenArm hardware based on the open-source design. We integrate it with JL Innovation (JLI)’s Robot Control Stack for out-of-the-box control and its Creo Studio software for visual operation, debugging, and embodied-AI development.

Why we provide OpenArm

Open hardware moves embodied intelligence forward.

JL Innovation helps turn the public OpenArm design into a dependable system, so more teams can focus on algorithms, experiments, and real applications.

01Support the open ecosystem

Keep the upstream project, design source, and licenses clearly traceable.

02Lower the barrier to use

Bring procurement, assembly, calibration, testing, and integration together.

03Connect real intelligence

Join hardware, control, data, and models through one working system.

JL Innovation embodied-AI system for laboratories

Our core business

Embodied intelligence for vertical scenarios.

We develop embodied-AI models, operating systems, and scenario solutions for industry, laboratories, and education.

Through OpenArm, we make our embodied-AI capabilities accessible to the broader robotics community.
