On July 27, according to The Block, Physical AI data engine company Axis Robotics completed a $12 million seed round of financing, led by Hack VC, with participation from Nomad Capital, Pi Network Ventures, and 10K Ventures. Axis plans to build a large-scale "human-in-the-loop" global data engine to address the scarcity, generalization difficulties, and hardware adaptation issues of robot training data. Its platform covers task generation, simulated remote teleoperation, mobile Ego data collection, and automated cleaning and annotation pipelines. It currently has over 100,000 active data contributors, generating approximately 1,200 hours of simulated data and 20,000 hours of real-world data monthly. The company has also established commercial partnerships with hardware and industrial clients such as Booster Robotics and Geely Auto.
