Forgis, Bubble, and Embodied have been selected by Google

(CONNECT) Forgis from Schlieren, Bubble Robotics from Dübendorf, and Embodied AI from St-Sulpice have qualified for the Google DeepMind Accelerator along with twelve other European startups, according to a press release. The 15 startups will participate in a three-month mentoring programme and receive technical support to help them develop their robotics solutions to market readiness. Participating startups will have access to Google's artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.

"Forgis develops AI agents that 'understand machines the way experienced engineers do,'" according to Google. This would make it possible to predict errors and optimise performance. Bubble Robotics is developing robots that can be used both underwater and on the water's surface. And Embodied AI develops remote-controlled humanoid robots that use collected data—for example, in customer service—to improve and evolve on their own.

The programme will run from its launch in London through September and conclude with a three-day closing event in London. Participants will have the opportunity to present their solutions to mentors, Google partners, and Google teams. The other startups are based in the United Kingdom (4), Norway, Greece, Romania, Germany, Italy, Denmark, France, and Sweden. ce/jh
