Robots might ditch the looks

In a future where function trumps form, will our mechanical friends still be human enough?

The next humanoid robot might not have a head. It might not have legs. It might even sit on a wheeled base and fold down like a deck chair. But as Genesis AI puts it, “humanoid robots don’t need to look human.”


Genesis AI, a French startup backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, says its robot Eno is designed ‘around human capability,’ not looks.


Eso explica o aspecto de Eno, o novo robô da francesa Genesis. A empresa afirma que Eno é projetado “à volta das capacidades humanas” em vez de aparência humana e está destinado a ser um robô “de propósito geral” ao invés de uma máquina construída para realizar tarefas específicas, como dobrar a roupa.


Ainda assim, o robô tem uma parte que é muito humana: suas mãos, que a empresa diz ter sido projetada para “exatamente corresponder à forma e função das mãos humanas” de modo que o robô possa usar ferramentas e objetos já construídos para pessoas.


Genesis afirma que planeja iniciar a produção e as entregas com clientes-alvo no final de 2026, começando por indústrias de fabricação, laboratórios e logística, seguidos por hospitais, hotéis e consumidores. A empresa diz ainda estar desenvolvendo outras formas do robô.
