Genesis AI goes full-stack with GENE-26.5 model and humanoid hands
genesis ai introduced gene-26.5, a model controlling five-fingered robotic hands mimicking human anatomy. the $105m-backed startup aims to close the embodiment gap using sensor-loaded gloves for data collection and simulation for rapid iteration, targeting commercial lab work and manufacturing tasks.
Genesis AI, backed by a $105 million seed round, unveiled its GENE-26.5 model and proprietary five-fingered robotic hand. By creating hardware that matches human anatomy, the startup reduces the 'embodiment gap' to leverage internet video data and a sensor-loaded glove for training. The system handles complex tasks like cooking and piano, with commercial applications initially targeted at lab work.
