NdotLight Chosen for Scale-Up TIPS Program to Advance Physical AI Data Infrastructure
NdotLight獲選參與2026 Scale-Up TIPS研發計劃，計劃在三年內運用最多3 billion won政府研發資金提升TRINIX 3D數據生成平台。公司將建立系統，把生成資產的物理屬性與實際測量數據比較、驗證並校正，旨在提升供機械人訓練及評估使用的模擬數據可靠性。
NdotLight, a company specializing in physical artificial intelligence (AI) data infrastructure, said on Oct. 13 that it has been selected for the 2026 Scale-Up TIPS Research and Development (R&D) program, a specialized track run by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs.
The company plans to use up to 3 billion won in government R&D funding over three years to enhance TRINIX, its 3D data generation platform.
NdotLight was previously selected for the TIPS program and the Baby Unicorn initiative. Scale-Up TIPS is a government program providing R&D funding to promising technology companies identified and funded by private-sector operators.
Through the project, NdotLight will build a system to compare the physical properties of generated assets with actual measurement data, verify their accuracy, and make corrections. By adding a verification stage to its existing data generation and extraction technologies, the company aims to improve the reliability of simulation data used in robot training and evaluation.
TRINIX is a platform that generates 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models from text, images, and other inputs, while automatically inferring their physical properties. The generated models can be exported as simulation-ready (SimReady) assets for direct use in simulations.
Teleoperation, or remote control, is widely used to collect data for physical AI, but faces limitations such as slow data collection, high costs, and inconsistent data quality. NdotLight said TRINIX addresses these challenges through an automated pipeline for generating 3D data that accurately incorporates physical properties such as mass and friction, as well as joint structures and collision boundaries.
NdotLight's AI training data customers include Holiday Robotics, AROBOT, Robros, and RLWRLD. The company has also supplied data for physical AI projects at major companies including Hyundai Motor and LG Electronics.
NdotLight has raised a cumulative 25.4 billion won, including its recent investment from Naver D2SF. The Series B funding round, led by Korea Development Bank, totaled 15 billion won. Naver D2SF previously participated in the company's pre-Series A round in 2021 and Series A round in 2022. Its latest investment reflects the view that NdotLight can address data bottlenecks that remain a key challenge for physical AI.
