OriginFlow, a startup founded by Tsinghua PhD Qin Shentao, has raised over 500 million RMB from investors including BlueRun Ventures. The company introduced the NeuroScale system and OriginKit wristband, which uses non-invasive surface electromyography (sEMG) to capture human movement intent. Fused with vision and IMU data, their PULSE base model converts real-world operations into machine-learnable HumanTokens, addressing the scarcity of high-quality physical interaction data and enabling cross-embodiment transfer from humans to robots.
