Genesis AI introduces GENE-26.5 model for more dexterous robot manipulation
Genesis AI unveiled GENE-26.5, a foundation model that it claims gives robots human-level physical manipulation capabilities, using a proprietary data engine and robotic hand.
The GENE-26.5 robot brain enables dexterous, two-handed cooking, as demonstrated by Genesis AI. The system uses two proprietary components: a data engine that unlocks unlimited training data and a human-scale robotic hand that allows direct skill transfer from humans to robots.
Genesis AI emerged from stealth last year with $105 million in funding. The company says it is building general-purpose robots with human-level intelligence, and the GENE-26.5 model represents a step toward reliable, scalable dexterous manipulation.
