Axis Robotics Open-Sources One of the Largest Franka Arm Simulation Datasets for Physical AI

Axis Robotics has released Axis Sim Dataset V1, one of the largest open-source simulation datasets for Franka arm manipulation, with the full dataset, training code, and benchmarks publicly available. V1 is built from more than 50,000 human-teleoperated simulation trajectories across 207 manipulation tasks and 60,000+ scene variants on a simulated Franka Research 3 arm.

This dataset drew over 160,000 downloads, making it the most downloaded open-source simulation Franka manipulation dataset on Hugging Face. In benchmarks, continual pretraining on V1 lifted ฯ€0.5 and beat a volume-matched RoboCasa baseline, with every result open and verifiable.

Axis Robotics is building the ultimate compounding data engine for Physical AI, a vertically integrated system spanning large-scale simulation, egocentric real-world capture, humanoid loco-manipulation, and human-gated DAgger post-training. The company raised $12 million in seed funding led by Hack VC, with participation from Nomad Capital, Pi Network Ventures, 10K Ventures, and angel investors.
