I. Breakthroughs in Technological Innovation: Jodell Robotics Secures Multiple Core Technology Patents
By our reporter In 2025, Suzhou Jodell Robotics Co., Ltd. achieved significant accomplishments in technological R&D. Throughout the year, the company secured multiple core technology patents authorized by the National Intellectual Property Administration, covering key areas such as gripping devices, suction devices, and actuators. These achievements demonstrate the company’s deep technical expertise in the field of electric servo actuators.
On January 14, information from the China National Intellectual Property Administration revealed that Jun Duo Robotics obtained a patent titled “A Gripping Device,” with the authorization announcement number CN 222327910 U. Through an innovative guide rail slider and linkage mechanism design, this patent incorporates a spaced-fit structure between fixed and movable components on the housing. The guide rail slider slides along two guide rail slots on either side, significantly enhancing finger rigidity while improving assembly convenience and application versatility.
Shortly thereafter, on February 15, the company obtained another patent for a “Flat-Type Adsorption Device” (Authorization Announcement No. CN 222472540 U). This device innovatively separates the adsorption component and gas source component into storage chambers of different thicknesses. The intake direction of the adsorption port is perpendicular to that of the gas source component, effectively reducing the height dimension of the adsorption unit. This achieves a flat and compact design for the entire adsorption device, providing an ideal solution for space-constrained applications.
On March 18, Jodell Robotics secured another milestone achievement by obtaining the patent for its “High-Rigidity Linear-Rotary Actuator” (Authorization Announcement No. CN 222620875 U). This patent innovatively incorporates a magnetic spring structure within the actuator cavity, comprising a magnetic spring stator and a magnetic spring rotor. The magnetic spring stator applies an upward pulling force to the connecting component via the magnetic spring rotor. This design effectively reduces equipment maintenance frequency and significantly extends product lifespan.
On April 7, the company continued to expand its patent portfolio by securing the patent for “A Linear Rotational Actuator” (Authorization Announcement No. CN 222721259 U). This patent introduces an upper-lower cavity structure in the housing cavity design and incorporates two mounting brackets on the outer housing corresponding to the corners of the lower cavity. This effectively reduces installation dimensions and broadens the product’s application scope.
On May 1, Jodell Robotics announced the acquisition of the patent for its “High-Precision Rotating Gripper” (Patent Publication No. CN 222792092 U). This patent innovatively adds a third encoder to the traditional dual-encoder system to monitor motor rotation angles. This enhances transmission precision between the motor output shaft and spindle, resolving accuracy losses caused by connecting components between the rotary motor and gripper housing.
Additionally, the company obtained an invention patent for “A Pump-Free Electric Vacuum Suction Cup Device” on January 7 (Authorization Announcement No. CN 111071789 B), further enhancing the technological portfolio of its electric suction cup product line.
A representative from Jodell Robotics stated: “Technological innovation is the core driver of our company’s development. The concentrated patent approvals in 2025 not only validate our R&D capabilities but also establish a robust technological foundation for subsequent product iterations and market expansion.” To date, Jodell Robotics has secured over 120 patent entries, forming a comprehensive intellectual property system spanning nine major product series, including industrial-grade dexterous hands, intelligent electric grippers, electric suction cups, and linear rotary actuators.

VI. Major Launch of Strategic New Products: Mozart Smartwatch Leads Three Product Matrices in Debut
By our reporter In September 2025, while announcing the completion of its Series B+ financing round, Suzhou Jodell Robotics Co., Ltd. unveiled three strategic new products, further expanding its product ecosystem from industrial automation to humanoid robots. These products—the Mozart Series Dexterous Hand, WEPG Series Electric Weighing Gripper, and LRA-F Series Force-Closed-Loop Linear-Rotary Actuator—represent the company’s latest R&D achievements in electric servo actuator components.
Mozart Series Dexterous Hand: 16-Degree-of-Freedom Replication of Human Hand Precision Manipulation
As the flagship product of this new release, the Mozart series dexterous hand represents the culmination of Jodell Robotics’ years of technological advancement. Featuring 16 degrees of freedom, a response time of no more than 10 milliseconds, and a maximum payload capacity of 15 kilograms, this product can replicate the complex movements of a human hand to achieve precise grasping and manipulation.
In terms of technical features, the Mozart Dexterous Hand employs advanced drive and control solutions, enabling each finger to move independently and perform complex actions such as pinching, grasping, and gesture recognition. Its rapid response speed and high load capacity make it particularly suitable for scenarios demanding extreme precision, including 3C precision assembly, medical assistance, and scientific research and education.
Industry experts note that dexterous hands are the core components enabling humanoid robots to interact with the physical world, presenting significantly greater technical challenges than traditional two- or three-fingered grippers. Currently, only a handful of companies worldwide can mass-produce high-degree-of-freedom dexterous hands. The mass production of Jodell Robotics’ Mozart series will help fill the domestic gap in this field, providing critical component support for the development of the humanoid robotics industry.
WEPG Series Electric Weighing Gripper: Integrated gripping and weighing achieves ±0.2g high precision
The second strategic new product, the WEPG series electric weighing gripper, innovatively integrates gripping and weighing functions into a single unit, enabling an efficient “grab-and-weigh” operation mode. This product achieves repeat measurement accuracy of ±0.2 grams for 10-kilogram loads and has been delivered in bulk to the world’s largest lithium battery manufacturer, demonstrating significant application value in the new energy battery production sector.
In lithium battery production, the consistency of electrode coating directly impacts battery performance and safety. Traditional processes require separate gripping and weighing steps, which are not only inefficient but also carry the risk of secondary positioning errors. Jodell Robotics’ electric weighing gripper integrates these two operations into one, significantly boosting production efficiency and measurement accuracy, delivering substantial value to lithium battery manufacturers.
LRA-F Series Force-Closed-Loop Linear Rotary Actuator: Force control accuracy up to ±1g
The third strategic new product, the LRA-F Series Force-Closed-Loop Linear Rotary Actuator, focuses on high-precision force control requirements in precision manufacturing. This product achieves force control accuracy of ±1 gram within the 10-400 gram range and rotational positioning accuracy as high as ±0.01°, primarily serving applications in 3C electronics, semiconductor chip packaging and testing, and related fields.
During chip packaging, the precision of placement pressure control directly impacts product yield rates. The LRA-F series actuators utilize force closed-loop control technology to monitor and adjust the pressure applied to chips in real time, ensuring precise operations within a narrow force control range. This provides an ideal solution for semiconductor back-end processes.
Dr. Jie Dangyang, Chairman of Jodell Robotics, stated: “The launch of these three strategic new products signifies Jodell Robotics’ successful transformation from a single-product supplier to a provider of intelligent end-of-arm tooling solutions. We will continue to pursue technological innovation, delivering smarter, more precise, and more reliable end-of-arm tooling solutions to our customers, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of China’s intelligent manufacturing sector.”
With the successive launch of these three strategic new products, Jodell Robotics’ product portfolio has become more comprehensive, covering a wide range of needs from general-purpose grippers to specialized dexterous hands, and from simple grasping to integrated grasping and measurement capabilities. This expansion lays a solid foundation for the company’s growth in both the industrial automation and humanoid robotics markets.
