SynapX builds a system architecture called SYNTH that links three domains—SYNAction (manipulation intelligence), SYNWorld (physical-world modeling), and SYNData (data systems)—to enable robots to execute complex operation tasks more efficiently and evolve autonomously. Its Omni-modal Physical Data System (OPDS) combines custom hardware design and AI algorithms to collect and generate high-quality multimodal physical signals such as vision, force, and touch at scale to continuously improve base models. The company plans to invest its recent $50 million raise into core technology and product R&D, construction of its multimodal data system, and hiring global talent. Founded in January 2026 by Tsinghua alumnus Du Dalong, SynapX positions itself as an emerging player in physical AI focused on large-scale data-driven model evolution.

Founded less than two years ago, Xynova develops full-stack dexterous hands combining hardware, materials, motion control and manipulation algorithms. Its product line includes Flex 1 — a tendon-driven hand launched in August 2025 with a 380 g palm and payload capacity exceeding 30 kg — and Flex 2, introduced in May 2026 as the industry’s first hybrid tendon-driven plus direct-drive bionic hand with 23 degrees of freedom and a palm weight under 400 g. The company reports industrial-grade durability (tendon lifespan over 1.5 million cycles and whole-hand lifespans exceeding 1 million opening/closing cycles) and claims its hands have passed high-low temperature, vibration and drop tests. Xynova has expanded rapidly to a team of over 300 people, including more than 150 R&D staff, and established a 5,400 sqm factory in Hangzhou with targeted annual capacity of 10,000 units by year-end.
