The next humanoid robot might not look human at all
Short summary
Genesis AI's Eno robot challenges the assumption that humanoid robots must look human, instead prioritizing general-purpose capability and human-like hands. Backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the robot represents a shift toward form-following function in robotics. The design philosophy suggests future robots will optimize for task performance rather than human appearance.
