A robotics company unveiled four new embodied AI products designed for real-world commercial and industrial use rather than one-time demonstrations. The products include a full-size humanoid robot for service environments, a heavy-payload industrial task robot for material handling, a dexterous robotic hand for complex manipulation, and an educational platform. The company emphasized that the industry should judge embodied AI by whether robots can be reliably manufactured, delivered, and integrated into actual operating environments, and presented factory deployments where their robots have performed repetitive tasks continuously over extended periods.

Generalist’s GEN-1 foundation model now supports a range of robot end effectors
Generalist’s latest embodied foundation model, GEN-1, now supports a broad range of robot end effectors. The company said GEN-1 is compatible with five-fingered hands to specialized tools with new modes of actuation and everything in between. By training GEN-1 to work with these new hands, Generalist said it is demonstrating that a single base AI model can learn sensorimotor policies on robots that transfer across radically different ways of interacting with the physical world. Below, the
