Embodied-data startup Aiood AI raises nine-figure RMB round to build full-stack robot training data infra
创业邦 · wechat · 2026-09-17
Chuangyebang profiles Aiood AI (艾欧智能), a Shenzhen-based embodied-intelligence data infrastructure startup that runs teleoperation training fields and captures human first-view data for robot makers and embodied foundation model companies.
Key points:
- Founded May 2023; raised a nine-figure RMB round in August led by Shunwei Capital, Songhe Capital and Shenzhen Capital Group, plus strategic investment from a leading robot OEM.
- Serves 150+ global customers and supports 80+ robot models; positions itself as "Infra + Ecosystem," covering capture hardware, teleoperation, software platform, algorithms and delivery.
- Three business lines: human egocentric data for pretraining, teleoperated real-robot data for post-training, and a neutral data-management platform with low-code post-training.
- Data gap is massive: Stanford HAI estimates only 500K hours of high-quality physical-interaction data exist globally vs. 10M+ hours needed; QYResearch projects the market growing from $753M (2024) to $6.75B (2031), a 36.8% CAGR.
- Insight: egocentric human data has the largest volume, but whole-body, dexterous and long-horizon real-robot data is scarcest; Chinese firms are shifting from selling devices/data to selling infrastructure, while overseas leaders build in-house data loops.
