mimic Robotics is a Zurich-based physical AI and robotics company founded in 2024 as a spinoff from ETH Zürich by Stefan Weirich (CEO), Stephan-Daniel Gravert (CPO), Elvis Nava (CTO), Benedek Forrai (Founding Engineer) and Robert Katzschmann (Scientific Advisor). The company builds AI foundation models and humanoid robotic hands designed to make human-level dexterity deployable across manufacturing, logistics and unstructured industrial workflows.
mimic pioneered a full-stack physical AI approach that pairs its M1 tendon-driven robotic hand with the U1 wearable exoskeleton for demonstration data, and pretrains Video-Action Models (VAM) on Internet-scale human hand footage. The company raised a $16 million round in November 2025 and unveiled its first commercial platform on July 18, 2026.
