About
About Noitom Robotics
Noitom Robotics is a Beijing company that supplies data infrastructure for embodied-AI and humanoid-robot development. It became a separate business in 2025 after its robotics team spun out of the Noitom motion-capture company. Its work combines human-motion capture, robot teleoperation and multimodal recording with processing and data-delivery tools for model developers and robotics teams.
The company provides ModalityNet data services and the HiPHI motion-and-interaction dataset, which is available for research use with separate commercial licensing. Its Adam-U collaboration combines Noitom Robotics’ capture and teleoperation technology with a PNDbotics robot platform and Inspire Robotics hands. The arrangement supplies a data-acquisition and manipulation platform for research and development. Noitom Robotics also works with the University of Hong Kong on embodied-intelligence data and robot validation; its focus is the data and learning infrastructure used with robots.

Research
- Noitom releases the HiPHI motion and interaction dataset
2026-08-19 - Research Publication - The dataset contains recordings from 132 performers, including 371.8 hours of motion and 245.7 hours of interaction data. Noitom reports 90 Hz capture across 40 objects in 12 categories. Policies trained with HiPHI were evaluated through transfer to a physical Unitree G1; commercial licensing is offered separately.

The package combines Noitom’s PNLink wired inertial motion-capture suit with Inspire’s RH56E2 six-axis tactile hands. Adam-U is an upper-body platform with 31 degrees of freedom, binocular vision and a braking system in its three-axis waist. The launch offer started at US$45,000, with an official debut planned for WAIC in Shanghai on July 26–29.
