Embodied AI SA
Embodied AI SA is an EPFL spin-off building the Helix Manipulator, a soft robotic arm based on a patented trimmed helicoid structure that enables independent stiffness control for safe human-robot collaboration. The system achieves nine degrees of actuation, one-meter workspace, and one-centimeter precision using proprietary control algorithms. The company is training in-house Visual Language Action (VLA) models that convert natural language instructions into precise robot motion, targeting food handling and lab automation applications. European patent filed; technology published in Nature npj Robotics.
