SiMate

Three months after founding, SiMate released Simate-beta, a general physical manipulation system using 4D physical perception and hierarchical temporal memory for zero- and few-shot tasks. The company says it tops the RoboDojo leaderboard with an average score of 33.95 and a 27.96% success rate. Internal testers include researchers from MIT, California Institute of Technology, Tsinghua University and Peking University.

SiMate also disclosed an AutoResearch automation platform and Sinfra infrastructure, and said it raised several consecutive rounds in the hundreds of millions of yuan (tens of millions of dollars). Its founders previously shipped a one-stage end-to-end autonomous driving model to mass production. The company plans phased open-sourcing of the model and research tooling by year-end.
