Genesis AI
Genesis is a global physical AI lab and full-stack robotics company. We build generalist robots to unlock unlimited physical labor, so humans can focus on creativity, curiosity, and what we love. We are a new generation of robotics builders, united by a shared mission to push the boundaries of physical AI. Our team brings together the minds behind many of the most significant advances in robotics and AI in recent years — spanning the full stack. We introduced generative simulation, created foundational platforms such as Genesis, Jiminy, Flightmare, GVBD Voxels, and invented the IPC algorithm. We led the development of the first multimodal models at Mistral AI and Apple Intelligence. We co-created UMI and Diffusion Policy, pioneered reinforcement learning frameworks for superhuman drone racing, and scaled robotic data systems at NVIDIA GR00T. We built cross-platform GPU compilers such as VeriGPU, DeepCL, Coriander, and the original PyTorch. We also built industry-leading rendering engines at Google, Epic and Unity. Now, we’ve come together at Genesis AI to close the loop, and build what’s next.
