# Mbodi AI

> Mbodi AI is a New York robotics-software company building an embodied AI platform that lets people teach industrial robots new skills through plain natural language and short demonstrations - no code and no specialized engineers. Founded in 2024 by two former Google Public DNS engineers, the platform combines generative AI, agent orchestration and symbolic reasoning to turn everyday instructions into precise, reliable robot actions that run in production within minutes and transfer across an entire robot fleet. Mbodi is a Y Combinator company with a joint commercialization partnership with ABB Robotics.

## Products & services

- **Embodied AI Platform** — A cloud-to-edge platform that fuses generative AI, agent orchestration and symbolic reasoning to convert natural-language instructions and short visual demonstrations into precise, reliable robot actions that run in production within minutes and adapt on the fly.
- **Universal Agent Framework** — A hardware-agnostic framework coordinating perception, reasoning, planning and control across any robotic hardware, with fleet learning so a skill taught to one robot transfers across an entire fleet.
- **embodied-agents (open source)** — An open-source Python SDK (published on PyPI as 'mbodied') for integrating state-of-the-art multimodal transformer models into robot stacks in a few lines of code - with motor, sensory and auto agents, and compatibility with HuggingFace, Gymnasium, Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs.

## Achievements

- Winner of ABB Robotics' 2024 global AI Startup Challenge
- Accepted into Y Combinator (2025)
- Named a 2025 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award recipient
