Genesis AI, a global full-stack robotics company, has announced GENE-26.5, the first robotic brain to give robots human-level physical manipulation capabilities. Alongside it, Genesis AI introduced a first-of-its-kind system to unlock unlimited amounts of data and train GENE-26.5 at scale. The system combines two proprietary components: a human-scale dexterous robotic hand that enables direct skill transfer from humans to robots and a powerful new data engine. Together, these innovations overcome the fundamental bottleneck in data that has constrained robotics foundation models, paving the way for a new generation of highly-productive general-purpose robots.
“The brain and hand are the two most valuable and complex pieces of robotics, and today we are presenting the industry’s most advanced versions of both,” said Zhou Xian, Co-Founder and CEO of Genesis AI. “For the first time ever, we’re enabling robots to do what only human hands could, and do it reliably, at scale.”
GENE-26.5 is an AI foundation model, purpose-built for robotics and designed to absorb massive amounts of data and environments. It enables robots to perform complex, long-horizon tasks with unmatched dexterity in order to achieve human-level capabilities. With GENE-26.5, Genesis AI is advancing a future where robots can be instantly deployed, and adapt to new environments and unfamiliar tasks.
To demonstrate GENE-26.5’s superior performance, the company revealed a video showcasing a collection of the most complex tasks ever performed by robots. The video includes Genesis AI’s robotic system mastering the following difficult activities with human-level control and accuracy, demonstrating fluid, human-like dexterity and precise, coordinated hand movements: cooking a 20-step meal, preparing a smoothie, conducting high-precision lab experiments, wire harnessing, solving a Rubik’s Cube, single-handed multi-object grasping, and playing the piano.
With this video, Genesis AI has proven that GENE-26.5 can empower robots with a wide range of complex skills and a level of physical manipulation that was not possible before.
“General-purpose robotics stands to reshape the global economy while opening an entirely new chapter for AI,” said Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and Genesis AI investor. “Genesis is introducing a paradigm shift in robotics. This marks an important milestone for their team and the robotics industry more broadly.”
