About Space Data
Space Data develops digital twins, physical simulation and spatial-intelligence software in Tokyo. Established in 2017, the company applies these technologies to space development, urban planning, disaster response, infrastructure and defence. Its SpaceBrain platform represents environments digitally so users can examine configurations and operating conditions before applying changes in the physical world.
The RobotBrain offering extends this approach to robot selection, connection and operations. It is designed to pass configurations from simulation to equipment and return operating data for further analysis, including route planning, fleet coordination, training data and operator practice. Space Data began offering the platform in October 2026 through direct projects and partner OEM arrangements. Its accompanying concept catalogue uses illustrative device examples and simulated scenes to explain the proposed workflow.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-15 - Demonstration - Space Data publishes five physics experiments for drone, humanoid, quadruped and arm control
The demonstrations vary payload assumptions, floor friction, terrain, wind or positional error to explain success and failure through physics calculations. ContactLab compares force-guided search with position-only insertion; CarryLab separates the actual load from the weight communicated to the robot. The simulations follow nine physics demonstrations released on October 14 and seven robot-planning demonstrations released on October 8.
Source - 2026-10-14 - Demonstration - Space Data publishes nine RobotBrain physics simulation demos
The scenarios cover hand-offs, suction transport, tipping, door opening, standing up, packing, deformable materials, granular handling and cart pushing. Comparisons vary conditions such as friction, payload distribution, timing, joint torque and sensing assumptions. Several humanoid examples use a G1 appearance with Space Data’s own simplified physics model.
Source - 2026-10-09 - Demonstration - Space Data demonstrates same-day warehouse reconstruction for RobotBrain simulation
The reconstructed warehouse contains 119 modelled objects and 239 collision geometries covering floors, columns, walls and stored goods. The environment supports simulated AMR and forklift movement, LiDAR sensing, material handling and multi-robot route checks before deployment. Surfaces inferred from unseen areas are recorded separately so users can distinguish measured geometry from estimated reconstruction.
Source - 2026-10-08 - Demonstration - Space Data releases seven RobotBrain concept demos for robot planning
Examples cover sensor blind spots, mixed-fleet sizing, elevator coordination, inspection routing and synthetic training data. Other scenarios assess remote-operator responses and robot reachability during the first 72 hours after a disaster. All demos use fictional sample data; they contain no live sensor or physical-robot integration.
Source - 2026-10-01 - Product Launch - Space Data launches RobotBrain for multi-vendor robot deployment and learning
RobotBrain passes tested configurations to physical robots and returns field measurements to simulation. Its four uses cover predeployment validation, operational optimisation, learning data and operator training. Overnight field-data processing generates improvement proposals that require human approval.
