Axis Robotics, a Physical AI data company founded in 2025, has raised $12 million in seed funding to scale its Compounding Data Engine. The round was led by Hack VC and included Nomad Capital, Pi Network Ventures, 10K Ventures, and several angel investors.

The investment will expand Axis's end-to-end system for generating the large volumes of diverse, structured robotic training data that Physical AI still lacks. While language models draw on vast internet text, robotic systems need billions of high-quality human-physical interaction trajectories. Current datasets remain scarce, poorly generalized across environments, and fragmented by different robot hardware.

Axis closes this gap with a closed-loop workflow that combines large-scale simulation, real-world egocentric capture, and continuous human-in-the-loop refinement. A Task Generation Engine produces highly varied robotic tasks through randomization of objects, layouts, and embodiments. Contributors then supply motion data either through a browser-based simulation platform or a mobile app that records real-world...

‘I did not foresee at all the social-media application, nor its impact on society': Inventor of the CMOS-based image sensor on how a technology designed to take photos in space has changed the way we view the world

Camera technology has come on leaps and bounds throughout the 20th and 21st century, but one of the most important developments was the invention of the CMOS image sensor. This invention, dubbed the ‘camera-on-a-chip’, is the technology that allows everyone to carry high-resolution cameras around in their pockets. But the
