Axis Robotics released Axis Sim Dataset V1, one of the largest open-source simulation datasets for Franka arm manipulation, comprising over 50,000 human-teleoperated simulation trajectories across 207 manipulation tasks and 60,000+ scene variants on a simulated Franka Research 3 arm, accumulating over 160,000 downloads on Hugging Face. On the LIBERO-Plus benchmark, continual pretraining on V1 lifted the π0.5 model performance from 83.9% to 88.8%, outperforming a volume-matched RoboCasa365 baseline by 37.3%. The company raised 12 million dollars in seed funding led by Hack VC, with participation from Nomad Capital, Pi Network Ventures and 10K Ventures. V2 is already underway, scaling to 1.2 million trajectories across 1,200 tasks.
