This broadens the scope of tasks a robot can perform.
It also reduces the need (and cost) for constant reprogramming.

Mimic plans to launch its humanoid later this year.
It targets industries that involve repetitive and hard-to-automate tasks that require complex motor skills.
The startup is part of a strong robotics ecosystem in Switzerland.
The county also houses some of the worlds most prominent robotics and automation companies, including ABB and Swisslog.
