Genesis AI unveiled Eno, a robot built on a wheeled base that can fold like a deck chair. The device lacks a head and legs, features the French startup presented as a deliberate shift away from traditional humanoid designs.
Eno sits on a wheeled base and folds flat for storage or transport. Genesis AI stated that humanoid robots do not require human-like appearance to perform useful work. The company exhibited Eno as an example of form following intended function rather than mimicking human shape. According to Genesis AI, practical performance matters more than visual resemblance to people.
AI said the configuration allows flexibility across settings where a bipedal structure may prove unnecessary. The firm indicated Eno will target tasks suited to its wheeled mobility and compact profile. The startup emphasized utility over appearance in its announcement of the new machine.
