LG to deploy former Google CEO-backed Genesis AI robot

Paris-based Genesis AI, a robotics startup, introduced Eno, an AI-powered industrial robot.

The company said South Korean information technology services firm LG CNS will help deploy it to industrial customers by the end of the year.

Genesis emerged from stealth in 2025 with a disclosed US$105 million from investors including former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt, Khosla Ventures, HSG, Eclipse, Bpifrance, and Xavier Niel. The startup is seeking more funding.

The company said customers will need to train Eno with demonstrations so the robot can learn tasks, an approach also used by other industrial robotics companies.

LG CNS already works in automation. The company has deployed robot systems in South Korean fulfillment centers for Coupang, Gmarket, and Market Kurly.

It has also deployed mobile manipulators in manufacturing facilities and laboratory environments.

Genesis is also entering a market with more established industrial robotics companies.

Agility Robotics already has production deployments in warehouses and factories.
