mimic: Developing Human-Level Dexterity for the Next Era of Industrial Automation
mimic is a Zurich-based startup that builds physical AI systems enabling robots to perform tasks with human-like dexterity. The company trains imitation‑learning models on data captured from human operators, allowing its humanoid robotic hands to replicate and adapt to real‑world variations. A recent $16 million seed round led by Elaia and Speedinvest will fund scaling of production, engineering, and pilot deployments across Europe.
