Embodied AI — Intelligence Enters the Physical Economy
We study embodied intelligent systems as economic agents — and help European organizations evaluate, pilot, and deploy humanoid robotics.
Intelligence is no longer confined to software.
Humanoid robots are general-purpose economic agents — capable of labor, learning, and interaction in human environments.
Quantum Economics studies embodied AI through the lens of economics: productivity, labor markets, mechanism design, and the diffusion of general-purpose technologies.
Economics of Embodied Intelligence
Modeling humanoid robots as labor-augmenting capital; total cost of ownership, productivity frontiers, and adoption dynamics in European industry.
Human–Robot Collaboration
Empirical analysis of deployment scenarios where humanoid form factors outperform fixed automation — flexibility, retrofitting, and mixed human-robot workflows.
Technology & Market Assessment
Independent, research-grade evaluation of humanoid platforms — hardware maturity, foundation-model integration, safety, and regulatory readiness (EU AI Act, Machinery Regulation, CE conformity).
Humanoid Robotics — Market Entry & Deployment in the DACH Region
We bridge frontier humanoid robotics and the European market. In partnership with a leading humanoid robotics manufacturer, we help organizations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland explore, pilot, and adopt embodied AI — grounded in independent research rather than sales narratives.
Use-Case Discovery
Structured workshops to identify where humanoid robotics creates measurable value in your operations or research agenda.
Pilot Design & Deployment
From feasibility study to on-site pilot — scoping, procurement, integration planning, and evaluation metrics.
Research Partnerships
Joint research programs, lab deployments, and academic collaborations for universities and research institutes working on embodied AI, robot learning, and human-robot interaction.
Regulatory & Economic Due Diligence
Guidance on EU regulatory pathways, safety certification, workforce implications, and total-cost-of-ownership analysis.
Research Institutions & Universities
Humanoid platforms for embodied-AI research, robot learning, and HRI labs — with academic-grade support and joint publication opportunities.
Manufacturing & Industrial Automation
Flexible automation for assembly, intralogistics, inspection, and tasks where fixed automation reaches its limits.
Research-first
An all-PhD team from ETH Zurich; we publish, we don’t just pitch.
Independent
Technology assessment grounded in economics and empirical evidence.
Local
Based in Zurich, operating across the DACH region, working natively in German, English, and Chinese.
