About Binabik AI
Binabik AI is a start-up founded in 2026, headquartered in Zurich with locations in Winterthur and Espoo (Finland). The company develops an agent-based operating system for physical AI – a modular, reusable 'brain' for humanoid and robotic platforms. The software decomposes industrial processes into reusable sub-steps (atomic skills) and enables robots to learn from small amounts of data, adapt tasks dynamically, and act reliably in highly variable environments. The focus is on machine tending and box handling in high mix, low volume production; the models run locally on edge or on-premise servers to ensure data sovereignty. Integration into existing systems is achieved via REST API (ERP, WMS, MES), ROS 2, and voice and chat interfaces. Binabik positions itself as a generalist Physical AI agent serving industrial automation and logistics.
