On August 26, 2026, Datatang Inc. announced the launch of a large-scale multimodal dataset focused on Ego-centric perspectives to accelerate research and development for physical AI models. This dataset, under the Nexdata brand, synchronizes video, IMU, SLAM, depth information, hand keypoints, and semantic annotations, making it readily integrable into research pipelines.
The significance of this dataset lies in its ability to provide not just video data but also multisensory information and precise operational data essential for robots to operate autonomously in real environments. Nexdata emphasizes that constructing a 'data recipe' combining various data layers is an effective means for training versatile algorithms, despite challenges in synchronizing Ego-centric data across multiple sensors and integrating UMI and real machine data into development pipelines.
Datatang offers several datasets, including a '1,000-hour PICO collection dataset' and a '1,000-piece 6-camera Ego-centric dataset,' among others. The company also operates a dedicated data collection facility with over 300 robots, capable of collecting around 5,000 hours of data monthly. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
