Genesis AI, a startup backed by Khosla Ventures, has taken a significant step toward creating a foundational AI model for robotics. The company introduced its first GENE-26.5 model and unexpectedly unveiled a robotic hand prototype. Initially focused solely on software, the startup decided to develop its own hardware to achieve superior results. This is reported by Techcrunch.com reports .
Genesis AI founders Zhou Xian and Théophile Gervet managed to adapt the robotic hands to the shape and size of a human hand. Unlike traditional two-fingered grippers, this approach allows robots to perform complex tasks, such as cracking eggs or slicing tomatoes. The robots also demonstrated delicate movements like making smoothies and playing the piano.
The company developed a special sensor glove to accelerate the data collection process. This device allows human movements to be transferred directly to the robot hand, helping to solve the "embodiment gap" problem in robotics. Through this solution, the volume of data required to train artificial intelligence has increased significantly.
Genesis AI plans to continuously improve the model using its simulation system. Zhou Xian noted that the evaluation process is a key factor in increasing training speed. In the future, this technology is expected to be widely used in laboratory work and other complex industrial sectors.
