"Kujiale" Partners with Intel to Develop SPEAR Intelligent Simulation Platform | Yunqi Capital Tech π

"Yunqi Tech π" shares updates from Yunqi Capital's portfolio companies, exploring how cutting-edge technology expands the boundaries of real-world applications and tracking the present and future of tech commercialization. In this edition of "Yunqi Tech π," we bring you the latest from Kujiale.

➤➤➤ Recently, SPEAR, an intelligent simulation platform jointly developed by Yunqi Capital portfolio company Manycore Tech (Kujiale), Intel Labs, the Computer Vision Center in Spain, and Technische Universität München, was officially released to developers.

In recent years, robots have increasingly influenced how people work and live. Yet training robots remains a time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive endeavor. SPEAR helps developers accelerate the training and validation of various intelligent robots, while advancing research and applications in human-robot interaction, digital twins, and beyond.

As a high-fidelity open-source simulation platform, SPEAR offers richer, more diverse, and more realistic interactive environments. This helps improve the accuracy of intelligent robots in executing tasks — particularly in navigation, manipulation, and indoor spatial reconfiguration — while strengthening their cognitive understanding of spatial scenes.

Moreover, robots need to learn by interacting with different variables in the physical world, with deep learning training enabling them to distinguish object types in their surroundings. For industry practitioners, developing, simulating, and deploying these systems is difficult and time-consuming. To address this challenge, SPEAR has developed multiple interactive simulators that allow robots to train and validate in simulated environments before physical-world deployment.

Regarding the launch of the SPEAR simulator, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger posted on Twitter: "The SPEAR open-source platform will improve the accuracy, speed, and safety of training and validating Embodied AI systems."

As a co-developer of SPEAR, Manycore Tech's (Kujiale) Coohom Cloud product has been dedicated to building a PaaS platform for intelligent agent simulation and data cloud services. It has currently launched two major solutions: KoolAI and RoboWizard.

KoolAI is an AI training synthetic data platform focused on indoor intelligent agent cognition and graphics intelligence. Leveraging the platform's massive library of indoor 3D virtual scenes and backed by Manycore Tech's frontier research lab, it provides diverse synthetic data for indoor scenes to make intelligent agents smarter.

RoboWizard is a cloud service solution designed for the robotics industry, particularly indoor intelligent robots. Built on cloud computing and cloud service capabilities, it redefines cloud-based robot development and simulation workflows through photorealistic rendering, large-scale cloud computing clusters, and cloud-based robot application deployment and management modules.

As robot applications grow more diverse and complex, industry expectations for service flexibility and intelligence are intensifying. Coohom Cloud aims to leverage Manycore Tech's robust big data, product, and ecosystem capabilities to digitally empower robotics companies and enhance robot service value.

Currently, SPEAR is available under the open-source MIT license and supports customization on any hardware. Interested developers can visit the SPEAR GitHub page for more details: https://github.com/isl-org/spear

For years, Yunqi Capital has remained focused on "technology innovation, industry enablement." Today, Kujiale has become the world's largest 3D cloud design platform. In April 2013, while still a partner at IDG, Yunqi Capital founding partner Chengyu Mao led the firm's first institutional investment in Kujiale. After founding Yunqi Capital in 2014, he continued to invest in Kujiale that same year and has added to his stake in subsequent rounds. Going forward, Yunqi will continue alongside Kujiale, supporting the development of the enterprise services industry.
