Embodied AI SA develops physically safe, AI-powered robots designed to operate alongside humans on industrial production lines. Rather than focusing on a single general-purpose humanoid foundation model, the Lausanne-based startup utilizes a task-specific approach combining soft-robotic hardware with a proprietary platform that trains small, custom AI models on human operator data. The company has successfully secured early validation, winning the IMD Startup Competition in 2026 and gaining selection for the inaugural European cohort of the Google DeepMind Accelerator. In September 2026, the firm completed its first equity seed round led by Faber VC alongside a large syndicate of co-investors.
