About Jacobi Robotics
Jacobi Robotics is a software development platform for robot arms, built on AI-powered motion planning technology spun out of UC Berkeley's BAIR Lab. The platform provides proprietary software building blocks — including motion planning, perception, and simulation — enabling robotics companies to deploy robot arm solutions in days instead of months. Its flagship product, the OmniPalletizer, delivers real-time mixed-case palletizing for industries such as retail, grocery, logistics, and manufacturing.
