EPFL spin-out Embodied AI unveils AIR, a wheeled humanoid with compliant tendon-driven arms

Lausanne-based Embodied AI presented AIR at Humanoid Europe 2026, a wheeled humanoid built in nine months whose lightweight tendon-driven arms yield on contact. Each task starts under human teleoperation and the recorded runs train its AI, usually reaching autonomy within a month. AIR is being tested with manufacturers, with CE marking planned for 2027.
