Simple AI develops embodied foundation models, robot-learning data infrastructure and robot engineering systems. Its HiFi-UMI pipeline captures robot-free bimanual demonstrations and converts them into policy-training data for physical manipulators.
About
Simple AI is a Beijing embodied-intelligence company developing foundation models, real-world data infrastructure and robot-engineering systems. Its work focuses on manipulation policies that can move from human demonstrations into physical robot deployments.
HiFi-UMI is the company's high-fidelity data engine for collecting synchronized bimanual demonstrations without requiring a robot during capture. The associated research describes a pipeline spanning portable capture hardware, calibrated sensing, data processing and deployment on robot manipulators.
In September 2026 the company said HiFi-UMI had processed more than 20,000 hours of demonstrations, 4.32 million manipulation sequences and more than 480 scenarios. Those figures describe the broader processed corpus; the separately released HiFi-UMI-2K public subset contains about 2,000 hours and more than 482,000 episodes.
