European physical AI company building humanoid robots that learn through real-world interaction
Vesoma is a European physical AI company founded in December 2025 by Nikolai Ensslen and Peter Skoromnyi. It builds humanoid systems whose agent and body are developed together, learning physical work from their own experience rather than imitation alone. AI research is led by Chief AI Officer Martin Riedmiller, formerly Research Director at Google DeepMind. The company operates from Munich, Germany, and Limassol, Cyprus, and has introduced the Vesoma 1 humanoid under development. Public materials describe work on manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing use cases, with a founding commitment not to build for weapons, military, or surveillance.
