We are very pleased to announce that AIRA has been selected to join the NVIDIA Inception Program, a program that nurtures start-ups revolutionizing industries with technological advancements.
AIRA is focused on accelerating the adoption of Robots in productive environments by developing a data-rich and scalable Physical AI Training Platform. AIRA’s approach has resonated greatly with researchers and engineers working on the cutting edge of Physical AI with the following feedback received from potential customers:
“AIRA is really promising and well-timed considering where simulation and real-world data fusion is headed.” (Physical AI Robotics Developer, UK)
“Our general-purpose models require exposure to the widest possible variety of environments and sensor conditions to generalize effectively; however, data from real world environments is currently underrepresented in most datasets. This is where AIRA can help.” (UK office of a global lead in AI development)
Empowering Physical AI with Data-Rich Training Grounds
The market for Physical AI environments and Physical AI training is relatively new but it is growing rapidly. Currently, humanoids are being trained in the basic tasks like walking or grasping, but in a few years this market will be worth trillions of dollars. An estimate of anticipated humanoid training cost by Tesla is a good guide when it comes to the size of this opportunity – the company already budgeted at least $500 bn for training Optimus to master a wider range of tasks (Tesla Quarterly Earnings Report, January 2025).
Training Physical AI Agents and Policies on Deployable Abilities in the environments developed by AIRA will help humanoid developers and others get to market and expand their applications quicker, safer, and more effectively.
NVIDIA Inception Program Benefits
Joining NVIDIA Inception will help AIRA to fully integrate the Physical AI Training Platform into the NVIDIA software ecosystem. NVIDIA Inception will also help drive our business forward through go-to-market support, training, and technology assistance. The program will also offer AIRA the opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading experts, engage with Physical AI focused investors within NVIDIA’s network and develop relationships with other AI-driven organizations.
NVIDIA Inception Program helps start-ups during critical stages of product development, prototyping and deployment. Every Inception member gets a custom set of ongoing benefits, such as NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute credits, preferred pricing on NVIDIA hardware and software, and tech assistance, which provides start-ups with the tools to help them grow.
