Shenzhen-based Chinese startup DexForce is using synthetic data generated in virtual environments to train humanoid robots, aiming to reduce costs and accelerate progress toward 'physical AGI' compared with labor-intensive real-world data collection. The company, founded in 2021 by CEO Jia Kui, has raised 1 billion yuan ($147M) in a Series B at a 10 billion yuan+ valuation and counts Toyota, Samsung, Panasonic, Foxconn, Haier, and Hisense among its industrial software customers.
DexForce is using synthetic data to train humanoid robots in order to reduce costs. The headline-sourced snippet provides no further details about the company, its technology, or the specific robots involved.
DexForce is using synthetic data from simulated workplaces to train humanoid robots, reducing the cost and repetition of real-world demonstrations before transferring learned behavior to physical machines. The Shenzhen startup says training for physical artificial general intelligence through real-world data alone could require 10 trillion samples, while its software is already used by major manufacturers. Existing backing includes a 1 billion yuan ($147 million) Series B at a valuation above 10 billion yuan, or approximately $1.47 billion.
