Genesis AI builds physical AI infrastructure for general-purpose robots. Its flagship product, GENE, is a full-stack robotics foundation model that gives robots the ability to see, reason, and manipulate objects with human-level dexterity. The company pairs this robot brain with a proprietary human-scale dexterous robotic hand and a data engine that generates unlimited synthetic training data through physics simulation, enabling direct transfer of human manipulation skills to robots for industrial applications including manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and laboratory automation. Founded in December 2024 by Carnegie Mellon researchers Zhou Xian and Théophile Gervet — formerly of Mistral AI — Genesis AI is incorporated as a French SAS with offices in Silicon Valley and London.
