We have insisted that humanoid robots look like people: this startup has just shown there is another way

Funding Rounds

Summary

Genesis AI has introduced Genesis Eno, a general-purpose robot that breaks away from the typical humanoid look by using wheels instead of legs and a more functional body design. The company says it optimized the robot for real-world mobility, dexterity, and storage rather than human-like appearance. It also highlights its hand design and the GENE AI brain, which it claims enables human-like physical manipulation and adaptive task execution. Genesis AI plans to start production at the end of 2026, beginning with industrial customers and later expanding into services and consumer markets.
