GMEX Robotics Corp. yesterday said it has entered a definitive share-purchase agreement with Alpha Meta AI Pte. Ltd., MetaGen AI Ltd., and other parties. The companies said the acquisition will add artificial intelligence related to human behavioral modeling to GMEX’s automation portfolio.
“Social intelligence has long been the missing layer between capable AI systems and meaningful real-world human interaction,” said Mark March of MediaMeta.ai. “Joining forces with GMEX gives us the opportunity to bring contextual awareness and behavioral understanding into robotics applications where trust, empathy, and human collaboration are essential. Together, we believe we can help define the next generation of intelligent machines.”
Singapore-based MediaMeta focuses on AI and human behavioral modeling. It maps social intelligence, capturing the patterns, structures, and behavioral dynamics that define how people relate to one another. The company said it is developing a foundational data layer intended to help the next generation of AI systems function effectively in real-world environments.
MediaMeta develops AI to comprehend social context
MediaMeta said its technology is designed to provide AI systems with a data and modeling layer that can assist them in interpreting social context. The company added that its social world models will enable AI systems to reason, anticipate, and respond to humans by incorporating behavioral data, cultural context and environmental signals.
Formerly known as Fitell Corp., GMEX Robotics plans to integrate MediaMeta’s social capabilities into its AI-powered robotics intended for consumer, hospitality, education, healthcare, assisted-living, retail, and other environments.
The Taren Point, Australia-based company said it expects to integrate MediaMeta’s technology into its robotics architecture, subject to successful completion of the transaction and subsequent development, integration, testing, and commercialization efforts.

GMEX plans to build robots that can better read humans
“Human experience is not transactional. It is relational, contextual and deeply cultural — shaped by unspoken norms, emotional signals, and the invisible architecture of social environments,” asserted GMEX Robotics. “Subject to closing and successful integration, our collaboration with MediaMeta is expected to enhance GMEX’s ability to develop robotic systems that can better read, interpret, and respond to human social cues.”
GMEX listed the following conditions for its acquisition of MediaMeta:
- GMEX will initially acquire 30% fully diluted equity interest in the issuer with option to acquire additional shares that could permit it to obtain a controlling equity interest.
- The purchase consideration consists of a combination of cash and GMEX common shares, subject to the definitive transaction terms.
- The issuer agreed to certain make-good provisions to earn more than $52.6 million (U.S.) in revenues over the next five years after closing the deal. GMEX will be entitled to certain adjustment or partial refund if MediaMeta fails to reach the revenue target.
- GMEX and its subsidiaries get a perpetual, exclusive, fully paid-up, and royalty-free technology license covering specified intellectual property, software, AI systems, models, and robotics-related data.
“2026 marks a transformational year for all of us at GMEX. Our next step is to integrate all the critical components for our Terminal + Intelligence platform,” stated Sam Lu, CEO of GMEX Robotics. “The robotics industry stands at an inflection point. At the core of GMEX’s strategy is a conviction that shapes every investment decision the company makes: We cannot advance human civilization with technology that does not understand humans.”
Earlier this month, GMEX said it plans to acquire a stake in a California company specializing in physical AI connectivity and wireless system-on-chip (SoC) technology to improve the reliability of warehouse robot fleets.
