Founded in 2024, PsiBot has focused from the start on solving the dexterous manipulation challenges of embodied intelligence. The company builds its software toolchain around end-to-end VLA models and leverages its proprietary Psi-SynEngine to efficiently capture real-world interaction data, significantly lowering acquisition costs.
The company has already validated its technology in small-scale scenarios at client logistics warehouses, delivering tangible gains in sorting efficiency. Building on that, PsiBot plans to establish China's largest dexterous hand dataset by 2026, laying a solid data foundation for embodied intelligence to move from technical leadership to a viable commercial loop.
On April 10, the company released Psi-R2 and Psi-W0 — large models pre-trained on human data — and open-sourced its first batch of 1,000 hours of multimodal human hand manipulation data. Key highlights include:
· Full Multimodal Coverage: Integrating vision, language, joint angles, and tactile data, representing a truly comprehensive multimodal dataset.
· High-Precision Acquisition: Captured via the company's proprietary exoskeleton gloves, the 3D trajectory precision reaches sub-millimeter levels — far surpassing the centimeter-scale error typical of pure vision estimation.
· Diverse Scenarios and Tasks: Spanning industrial assembly, daily operations, object grasping, and more.
The dataset is currently the industry's largest open-source multimodal collection for human hand manipulation, with total reserves reaching 100,000 hours. This marks a significant step toward data scaling in the embodied intelligence sector.
