Another humanoid robotics startup, Norway-based Physical Robotics, is out of stealth. The company was founded by Phuong Nguyen, a co-founder of Halodi Robotics (now rebranded as 1X Technologies). He was Chief Science Officer at Halodi for eight years, leading the development of the EVE robot. The new company's mission is to “create a generation of robots that live in harmony with humans in the physical world, enhancing the quality of human life.” Last week, the company announced the closing of a $4 million seed round. Here's the upper body concept of their humanoid, the π robot.
