FastLabel Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Takeshi Suzuki; hereinafter “FastLabel”), a company supporting the development of robot base models and domain-specific VLA models, has entered into a global strategic agreement with RealMan Robotics (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter “RealMan”), the Japanese subsidiary of RealMan Intelligent Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Beijing, China; CEO: Zheng Suibing). Through this partnership, the two companies will collaborate to collect robot training data using actual robots and jointly develop robust pipelines to support the advancement of robot foundation models and VLA models.【Background of the Global Strategic Agreement】In recent years, the global robotics industry has undergone significant structural transformation. Driven by rapid advancements in large language models (LLMs) and other technologies, the practical application of physical AI — integrating capabilities such as perception, decision-making, and manipulation — is accelerating across industries. At the same time, delivering advanced capabilities in areas such as autonomous driving and robotics requires a comprehensive end-to-end data pipeline supporting the entire process — from training data collection and preparation to quality assurance and practical deployment. As the industry progresses toward large-scale adoption, the importance of this data infrastructure is becoming increasingly critical.Against this backdrop, FastLabel, a provider of end-to-end solutions for robotics AI — from data collection using actual devices to data labeling and development support — and RealMan, which has developed robotics technology with strong performance in real-world environments, have entered into a global strategic agreement. Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to provide world-class robot training datasets to companies and research institutions working to advance the development of robot foundation models and VLA models.【Details of the Strategic Partnership】Through this partnership, both companies will advance joint research and development in the robotics AI sector, while enhancing capabilities in the data collection, preparation, and provision of high-quality training data. FastLabel will be responsible for supporting robotics AI development, including concept development and requirements definition, as well as robot setup. In addition, the company will provide operational support and outsourcing services for the collection of data used in imitation learning. RealMan will support data-centric robot training data collection and validation by providing humanoid robots designed to facilitate imitation learning.Specifically, RealMan will provide FastLabel with priority access to its latest model, the “Bipedal Bimanual Lifting Data Collection Humanoid (7-Axis Arm & Torque Sensor Version).” At the R&D center established by FastLabel, the two companies will work together to establish data quality standards and pipelines for VLA model development. In parallel, the collaboration will focus on generating real-world datasets to support multimodal vision, language, and VLA applications.【 Future Outlook (RealMan) 】Based on insights gained through the operation and validation of humanoid robots designed for imitation learning in real-world environments, RealMan aims to accelerate the development of products and technologies that support the broader societal adoption of physical AI. Through its collaboration with FastLabel, the company seeks to enable the collection of high-quality datasets and provide robotics technologies that can be applied across a wider range of tasks and operational environments.【 Future Outlook （FastLabel）】Moving forward, FastLabel will focus on providing the data pipeline infrastructure necessary for the development of physical AI, with a strategic focus not only on the domestic market but also on global expansion. By leveraging the large-scale data infrastructure and labeling technologies cultivated through its existing business operations, FastLabel will deliver high-precision, large-scale datasets originating in Japan. These datasets will be supported by companies both domestically and internationally and will incorporate not only unique Japanese data derived at manufacturing sites but also everyday motion data.[About FastLabel]Company Name: FastLabel Inc.
