About
About BeingBeyond
BeingBeyond is a Beijing embodied-AI company developing foundation models trained on human and robot data for perception, dexterous manipulation and whole-body control. Its model families separate language-and-visual understanding through Being-VL, hand-action generation through Being-H, whole-body motion generation through Being-M and low-level whole-body control through Being-W.
The company also builds data-collection and application systems around those models, including the Being-Actor teleoperation system, Being-Dex manipulation solution, D1 desktop arm and U1 dexterous-hand data-capture system. Its public research programme includes Being-H0 and Being-H0.8, which transfer large-scale human-video pretraining into physical robot manipulation across different arms, hands and grippers.

- Being-H0.8: A Latent Tactile World-Action Model at Scale
2026-07-28 - Research Publication - Being-H0.8 extends latent world-action modelling with tactile-aware interaction using contact and proximity supervision derived from large-scale human video. TopoHand maps human hands, dexterous robot hands and parallel grippers into a shared state-action representation for cross-embodiment learning. BeingBeyond shows ten physical contact-rich manipulation demonstrations on two bimanual robot configurations; the accompanying paper remains forthcoming.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-07 - Partnership - BeingBeyond joins PaXini Inside for model, data and PoC collaboration
BeingBeyond contributes embodied foundation models while PaXini contributes tactile perception and multimodal data infrastructure. The agreement covers model training, real-world PoC validation, algorithm optimization and joint work on industry data standards. PaXini’s earlier multimodal-data contribution to Being-H0.8 is recorded separately as a product-scoped supply fact.
Source - 2026-09-02 - Partnership - SYNAPATH AI and BeingBeyond expand tactile-data partnership
The collaboration covers embodied-data development and model-training validation. SYNAPATH data contributed to development of BeingBeyond's Being-H0.8 tactile world-action model. The new agreement extends the relationship into data standards and a possible shared data ecosystem.

The programme covers long-term joint work on dexterous-manipulation datasets, pretrained models and application deployment. D1 integrates a robotic arm, dexterous hand and active-vision system across data collection, training and policy deployment. The partners plan to demonstrate D1 jointly at WAIC 2026 as a research and education platform.
