Physicl Secures $10M Seed Funding to Develop High-Fidelity 3D Simulations for Robotics
Physicl, a new venture founded by former nfinite CEO Alex de Vigan, has raised $10 million in seed funding led by Inovia Capital. The startup aims to solve the data scarcity and fidelity issues in robotics training by providing high-fidelity 3D environments and assets for synthetic data generation. Leveraging technology originally developed for e-commerce product rendering, Physicl's platform transforms unstructured real-world information into accurate physical representations with correct geometry and materials. This allows robot developers to train models on complex edge cases—such as object manipulation in shadows or cluttered spaces—within a digital simulation that faithfully mimics real-world physics. The company is launching its 'Studio' product, which features 10,000 3D environments and 100,000 assets. Early customers like world model builder SpAItial are already utilizing the platform to improve the fidelity of their simulation tools.
