SKAI Intelligence Partners with Korea's Leading AI Institute to Advance Synthetic Data and Physical AI Research

SKAI Intelligence, a Physical AI company specializing in synthetic data and digital twins, has partnered with Seoul National University AI Institute to advance robotic perception, grasping, and vision technologies. The collaboration focuses on developing high-fidelity digital twins and simulation tools to train AI models for real-world robotic applications, addressing challenges in transitioning from controlled environments to complex physical settings. At the core of the partnership is SKAI Intelligence’s synthetic-data pipeline, which uses NVIDIA Omniverse to create accurate virtual replicas of real-world objects and environments. This technology enables large-scale synthetic dataset generation for AI training, testing, and validation, bridging the gap between simulation and real-world deployment. The two organizations will jointly research robotic perception, object recognition, depth estimation, and real-time tracking—key technologies for Physical AI systems. They will also collaborate on government-funded projects, talent exchanges, and large-scale AI model development to enhance Sim-to-Real methodologies, allowing robots to learn efficiently in virtual environments before real-world use. Morgan Mao, co-CEO and co-founder of SKAI Intelligence, stated that accurate digital replication and scalable synthetic data will be critical for competitive advantage in the Physical AI era. Jaewook Lee, Director of Seoul National University AI Institute, emphasized the partnership’s role in advancing globally competitive Physical AI technologies through research and industrial applications. This collaboration aligns with SKAI Intelligence’s strategy to strengthen its position as a key infrastructure provider for Physical AI, robotics, and automation. The company leverages NVIDIA Omniverse to support digital twin workflows, synthetic data generation, and real-time simulation for industries worldwide. SKAI Intelligence is an NVIDIA Independent Software Vendor (ISV) delivering industrial-grade synthetic data and high-fidelity digital twins for enterprise applications. Its AI-powered simulation and automation technologies enable scalable AI training and next-generation digital infrastructure across robotics, automation, and intelligent manufacturing sectors.
