What we're building
that isn't yet
in the catalogue.
The Laboratory is where Eiffel AI thinks out loud. Our embodied R&D. Projects we're passionate about, not yet commercial (or not yet), exploring territory where AI hasn't set foot.
A reduced-size humanoid robot (Reachy Mini by un fabricant partenaire. Not Reachy 2) living with isolated elderly people. It converses, recognizes your face, detects if you fall, reads stories with expression, plays voice chess, sends Telegram alerts to your family if something's wrong.
Designed by someone with 12 years of theatre training: your robot has stage presence, not just words. Built on the conviction that loneliness of the elderly isn't a technical fatality. It's a lack of attentive presence. The robot fills that void, without trying to replace a human.

Same body as Reachy Care, different pedagogy. Aristotle teaches using Socratic questioning. It doesn't give answers, it asks the right questions. Covers nine disciplines (French, math, history, science, languages, philosophy, music, visual arts, PE). Adapts its language to each child's age and progression.
Pedagogy rests on 30 years of theatre practice and 20 years of Noh theatre: real learning emerges from the tension between ignorance and revelation.
Plants communicate. Not with words, but with electrical and chemical signals we've learned to ignore. VegeOhm is a six-channel sensor that listens: tissue resistance, impedance, biopotentials, MEMS ultrasound, turgor. Ten years of empirical research behind it.
One question only: how does a plant speak? And once we know, how do we listen without killing it?
For stage managers, conductors, percussionists. A tool that reads a score with AI, detects tessitura errors before they ruin rehearsal, orchestrates instrument nomenclature, manages the stage in real time. Designed by someone with ten years of stage management behind them.
The Reachy Care, Aristotle, VegeOhm and OrkMap projects are carried out exclusively by Eiffel AI, SASU (RCS Tarbes 103 132 049), of which Alexandre Ferran is shareholder and R&D director.
