Swiss-Mile
SwissMile
Swiss-Mile is an embodied intelligence and robotics startup founded in April 2023, spun out of ETH Zurich's RSL lab, that builds autonomous robots designed to bridge AI and the physical world for tasks like last-mile delivery, inspection, and logistics . The company has developed a versatile AI framework combining reinforcement and supervised learning that can train new neural networks for different robot hardware in about a week, enabling capabilities including walking, driving, bipedal standing, and manipulating packages with wheeled end-effectors . In August 2024, Swiss-Mile raised a $22 million seed round led by Bezos Expeditions and Sequoia China, with participation from Amazon's Industrial Innovation Fund and Armada Investment; Linear Capital, which had backed the company at pre-seed, re-upped in the round . The founding team includes ETH alumni, and the company's technology was previously showcased by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in his 2022 GTC keynote .
