About Physen AI
Physen combines wearable capture hardware with a software pipeline for turning human physical interaction into structured robot-learning data. EgoScale and EgoForce record egocentric vision, motion and force signals; ForceAlign maps those observations across embodiments. Physen Studio supports collection and dataset operations, while TaF-VLA and ForceBench provide model and evaluation layers around the same multimodal data workflow.
The Shenzhen company is led by researchers and engineers with backgrounds in multimodal motion perception, optics, robotics and vision-language models. Its Three-Ring collection approach uses a head-worn visual-positioning device and two arm-worn sensing units to capture synchronized demonstrations without instrumenting a target robot. In August 2026, Physen disclosed an angel financing to move its acquisition equipment and data platform into mass production and delivery. The approach is intended for robotics OEMs, model labs, industrial-automation teams and research groups that need scalable real-world interaction data.
