Enact exits stealth with $30M pre-seed, Switzerland's largest, sensing touch via robot motors

Enact emerged from stealth with a $30M pre-seed — the largest ever raised in Switzerland — backed by redalpine, Notion Capital, and firstminute, with angels including Arthur Mensch and Yann LeCun. Instead of fragile external touch sensors, Enact measures force inside robot motors themselves, akin to how humans sense tension in muscles, scaling from robot arms to humanoids. Founder @manumerous previously built software for 1X's NEO humanoid.
