Robotics is a systems problem. Every layer matters, and every detail must integrate across the full stack. So bringing real scale to robotics requires building the full stack from the ground up: hardware, data, model, and simulation.
Over the last year, we built a global team with world-class depth across every layer to make this possible.
I’m excited to share GENE-26.5, our first robotics foundation model, and a path to the next level of scale in robotics.
"I think these are probably the most complex tasks ever being performed by a robot in a very human-like way at the efficiency, speed, and performance similar to a human," Zhou Xian, CEO of Genesis AI, said. https://t.co/ZDMR2U04KJ

As venture capital firms continue to pour money into AI, a new tier of startups has emerged: younger, earlier-stage companies building fast and raising faster as they try to rival their more established peers.
That’s why this year, for the first time, Forbes is introducing the AI 50 Brink List, spotlighting 20 of the most promising Seed and Series A-stage startups building in artificial intelligence.
