Embodied AI AIR: wheeled Swiss factory humanoid unveiled at Humanoid Europe; teleop-first, CE 2027 planned
Swiss EPFL spin-out Embodied AI unveiled AIR on November 6, 2026 at Humanoid Europe in Munich: a wheeled, two-armed upper-body robot it says can share a factory floor without a safety cage. Heavy motors sit in the torso; tendon-driven arms stay light and give way on contact. Company and Humanoids Daily say AIR starts under remote teleoperation, records each shift, and typically takes over a task within about a month; CE marking is planned for 2027 under ISO/TS 15066. Embodied AI reports ~95% average task success in unnamed paid manufacturer pilots and says orders open after the show—company claims, with no named customers, price, or delivery date published. Servospace take: a cage-free factory bet that monetizes teleop first, then autonomy—watch named sites and CE timing, not the 95% figure alone.
