Experienced Data Collection Team

Nexdata boasts a specialized team experienced in the fields of Physical AI and AI robotics, with a strong track record of successful projects. This expert team possesses a deep understanding of the specific data characteristics and collection requirements essential for key areas where Physical AI is utilized, such as robot operation, smart homes, and autonomous driving. Leveraging this expertise, they can quickly propose and develop tailored data collection plans aligning with the specific goals and specifications of each project.

Furthermore, Nexdata has also established unique environments such as dedicated robot testing grounds, smart home laboratories that simulate everyday living, and various industrial production lines, ensuring the consistent availability of high-quality data suitable for real-world applications.

Adaptability to Various Tasks

Thanks to its rich infrastructure, diverse range of robots, and expert insights from the team, Nexdata’s data factory is equipped to handle a wide array of data collection tasks, including autonomous navigation, human-robot collaboration, and complex mechanical tasks. Whether it involves single or double-arm operation, dynamic movement during tasks, force-feedback interactions, or long-sequence tasks, the facility can effectively meet customer requirements with precision.

The Role of Quality in Physical AI

High-quality, real-world interaction data remains one of the rarest and most valuable resources amid the rapid advancement of Physical AI. Over the years, Nexdata has continually invested in enhancing its Physical AI data production capabilities. A significant aspect of this initiative is the implementation of a closed-loop system that integrates data collection, cleaning, annotation, quality management, and continuous improvement.

This approach involves multiple phases of quality inspections, adhering strictly to global information security and privacy protection standards (ISO9001, ISO27001, ISO27701, GDPR, CCPA), enabling the company to achieve an annotation accuracy of over 98%. This comprehensive system has successfully addressed the significant challenge of transitioning data from virtual environments to the real world, commonly referred to as 'Sim2Real'.

Looking Ahead

In the future, Nexdata plans to introduce a wider variety of robotic models, sensor configurations, and complex operational scenarios to further enhance its Physical AI data production capabilities. By fostering strong partnerships with leading companies and research institutions in the Physical AI sector, Nexdata aims to develop scalable data standards and establish an open, efficient data collaboration platform, paving the way for the next leap in Physical AI applications in society.
