<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Genesis <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/section/artificial-intelligence" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="AI">AI</a> is betting against the tech industry&#8217;s obsession with bipedal, human-mimicking robots. Their first general-purpose machine, Eno, pairs millimeter-precise dexterous, human-like hands with a minimalist, wheeled base that can dynamically fold away out of sight. It&#8217;s a general purpose robot, designed to do anything you can imagine, from factory jobs to household chores, but its first deployment will be in labs.</p>]]></description>
