Telekinesis makes it possible for non-experts to teach robots new tasks by demonstrating them on video, reducing the need for hand-coded programs. The company provides a Physical AI cloud platform and universal AI brain that adapts to industrial, mobile, humanoid, quadruped, and drone robots using technologies such as Visual Robot Programming, LLM Plan for natural-language-to-behavior translation, and AutoPlan for automated motion planning. The solution is offered as a B2B software platform for manufacturing customers in automotive, aerospace, and metalwork, enabling end-of-line automation like assembly validation, labeling, cable harnessing, and inspection without code. Telekinesis originated as a spin-off from the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Lab at TU Darmstadt and targets industrial scale deployments through robot-agnostic integrations and cloud-based orchestration.
