About Telekinesis

Telekinesis is building Europe’s leading Physical AI cloud platform, giving any robot, industrial, mobile, humanoid, quadruped, or drone, the ability to perceive, reason, and act with human-like intelligence. Unlike traditional automation, Telekinesis empowers non-experts on the factory floor to deploy and teach robots in minutes—without writing a single line of code. Focused on automotive, aerospace, and metal manufacturing, the platform enables automation of tasks still performed manually today, particularly in end-of-line manufacturing such as assembly validation, labeling, cable harnessing, laser engraving, and final quality inspection. At the heart of the system is a universal AI brain that adapts to any robot and task, delivering unmatched flexibility and rapid deployment. This is made possible by breakthrough Physical AI technologies such as Visual Robot Programming, where robots learn directly from video demonstrations; LLM Plan, which transforms natural language prompts into executable behavior; and AutoPlan, which autonomously generates motion plans for complex tasks. Together, these innovations turn robotics into an intuitive tool that anyone can use. Telekinesis is a spin-off from the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Lab at TU Darmstadt, led by Prof. Jan Peters, a pioneer in robotics and machine learning. Backed by leading investors and industry veterans—including the former MDs of KUKA and Universal Robots (UR/WE)—Telekinesis is transforming two decades of academic innovation into real-world industrial impact. We’re making robots usable—by anyone.
