Genesis AI, a French robotics startup, has unveiled its GENE-26.5 foundation model, powering a humanoid robot capable of complex tasks. The robot can autonomously prepare food like stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, make smoothies, solve Rubik's cubes, and organize cables. This advancement utilizes large-scale human operation data for pretraining, coupled with simulation-based evaluation, to push robot manipulation towards a foundation model training approach. AI
