Omni

Beyond Imagination, operating as Beomni, is a robotics and AI platform company founded in 2018 by CEO Dr. Harry Kloor and inventor Ray Kurzweil. The company's primary mission is to develop a general-purpose humanoid robot, named Beomni, powered by a sophisticated AI brain. Dr. Kloor, a scientist, technologist, and filmmaker who holds two PhDs in Physics and Chemistry, was inspired by his own childhood experience of overcoming a physical disability, envisioning a future where he could inhabit robotic bodies. Ray Kurzweil is a renowned inventor and futurist with significant contributions to AI, speech recognition, and machine learning.

The core of the business is the Beomni AI, a multimodal, omni-purpose brain that can be integrated into humanoid robots and other systems. This AI is designed to learn physical tasks through observation and human piloting via virtual reality, progressively moving from human-assisted operation to full autonomy. The company's product portfolio includes the AI brain, the Beomni humanoid robot, and associated control systems featuring AR visualization and haptic feedback. The wheeled robot possesses human-like arms and hands with opposable thumbs, capable of performing delicate maneuvers as well as lifting significant weight.

Beyond Imagination serves a broad market, targeting sectors with labor shortages or dangerous tasks, including healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics. The company's business model involves selling these robotic systems to enterprise clients, with a projected price point of around $150,000 per unit for the initial viable product. A significant partnership was announced with SELF Labs to deploy the robots in automated, off-the-grid agricultural grow boxes. The company has received investment from institutional investors such as Happiness Ventures and counts figures like Tony Robbins among its advisors and investors.
