Safe, compliant humanoid robotics for human-AI collaboration
Embodied AI designs soft, compliant robotic systems paired with AI for direct human support. The stack—Isaac Sim, Python, C++, Rust, Raspberry Pi, and Fusion 360—reflects a hardware-software hybrid approach typical of robotics, with heavy sim-to-real emphasis. Current project load is split between prototype refinement (tendon-driven compliant kinematics, sim-to-real matching) and commercial readiness (pilot negotiations, sales playbook, production scaling), suggesting the company is moving from research validation toward customer deployment.
Embodied AI develops soft robotic systems designed to work alongside humans safely. Based in Lausanne with 2–10 employees, the company focuses on translating AI algorithms into physical robot bodies that prioritize safety and human interaction. The founding cohort is mid-career and early-stage (2 seniors, 4 mid-level, 3 interns, 1 junior), with engineering and operations anchoring the core team. Current hiring spans Switzerland and Italy. Primary challenges center on production scaling, sim-to-real validation of novel compliance mechanisms, and moving pilots into repeatable deployments.
Stack includes Isaac Sim for simulation, Python and C++ for control, Rust for systems, Fusion 360 for mechanical CAD, and Raspberry Pi for embedded compute. Projects emphasize sim-to-real matching for tendon-driven compliant hardware.
Core projects include designing electro-mechanical assemblies, developing simulation for compliant humanoid robots, validating sim-to-real matching, and negotiating pilot deployments with customers to validate global scaling feasibility.
