Maniformer - 觅觅科技
"All-in-one Physical AI Data Service Platform"
AgiBot-incubated Chinese platform supplying embodied-AI training data, real and simulation datasets, and the MEgo data-collection hardware line.
Maniformer is a Chinese embodied-AI data-infrastructure company headquartered in Shanghai and incubated by humanoid-robot maker AgiBot (Zhiyuan Robotics). Rather than building robots directly, Maniformer operates an all-in-one physical-AI data service platform that provides the training data needed to develop embodied-AI and robot-learning models. Its offering spans full-spectrum data acquisition paradigms covering real-robot operation data, human motion data and simulation environment data, delivered through a data marketplace, a library of simulation assets, and end-to-end data-governance and curation services. To lower the cost and barrier of large-scale data collection, Maniformer developed the MEgo line of embodied data-collection devices, including handheld data-collection grippers and head-mounted view devices that let human operators capture motion trajectories, visual inputs and tactile feedback while performing tasks in real environments, enabling data collection without requiring a physical robot.
The company also promotes a "Hive" data co-creation initiative to crowdsource and standardize embodied datasets across different robot embodiments, helping address the data bottleneck that constrains embodied-AI model training. Maniformer works with robotics companies and AI research institutions to supply high-quality, standardized data assets for model training. The company has raised hundreds of millions of yuan across seed and angel rounds led by Sequoia China, with participation from investors including Baidu Ventures, Yunfeng Capital and others, underscoring strong backing for its position in the embodied-AI data layer.
