Expert Statements
Shaoqing Xiang, Co-Founder and CTO of Hesai
“Physical AI needs real-world data that is accurate, affordable and available at scale. Meeting all three requirements has been a persistent problem. Kosmo is designed to overcome that challenge, making it easier for AI developers and creators to turn real environments into data they can train on and assets they can build with.”
Yifan "David" Li, Co-Founder and CEO of Hesai
“Physical AI needs infrastructure that lets it understand the real world and act within it. Our 3D world data engine and robotic motion engine address both needs, building directly on Hesai's strengths to create our second growth driver. Over the past decade, we have enabled machines to see the world. Over the next decade, we will enable robots to understand and change it.”
