New wheeled robot says no thanks to humanoid hype - Fox News

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The robot race has a familiar look right now. Two legs. A face-like head. A body that tries very hard to look human. Genesis AI is taking a different route with Eno, its first general-purpose robot. Instead of building another humanoid that looks like all the others out there, the company designed a wheeled robot that focuses on work first. That choice may make Eno more useful in the real world.

Genesis AI says Eno combines its full-stack hardware platform with GENE, the company's robotics-native AI brain. That means the company wants Eno to reason through tasks, adjust when conditions change and carry out jobs that go beyond pre-programmed movements. ## Genesis AI Eno robot challenges humanoid hype

Eno arrives at a time when robot companies are trying to prove that machines can do more in the physical world with less human direction. Some companies are betting on humanoids. Genesis AI is betting that useful design may beat human-like design.

That choice could resonate with businesses. If a wheeled robot costs less, breaks less often and performs better on flat floors, it may beat a humanoid in many practical settings. The keyword is "if." Genesis AI still has to prove Eno can work reliably with real customers. Demos can show potential. Deployments reveal the hard truth.
