"Robots that can finally do what people do"
ETH Zurich spinoff building AI-driven 16-DoF humanoid robotic hands for human-level dexterity in industrial automation.
mimic (mimic robotics AG), incorporated in Zurich on 25 April 2024, is an ETH Zurich spinoff developing the M1.0 — a 16-degree-of-freedom tendon-driven humanoid robotic hand paired with a generative AI model for dexterous motion. Operators wear proprietary data-collection gloves on live factory floors to generate training data via imitation learning, avoiding production disruption. The system targets assembly, packaging, sorting, and kitting in manufacturing and logistics, claiming up to 70% cost reduction and new-task learning in under one hour.
Pilots are active with Fortune 500 manufacturers, global automotive OEMs, and multinational logistics providers. Raised $16M in November 2025 (led by Elaia and Speedinvest), with total funding exceeding $20M. Founded by Elvis Nava, Stefan Weirich, Stephan-Daniel Gravert, and Benedek Forrai.
