BeingBeyond and Linkerbot partner on dexterous datasets and pretrained models
BeingBeyond and Linkerbot launched a strategic programme combining embodied foundation models with dexterous-hand hardware to build manipulation datasets, develop pretrained models and deploy applications around the D1 integrated research platform.

Evidence notes
- The programme covers long-term joint work on dexterous-manipulation datasets, pretrained models and application deployment.
- D1 integrates a robotic arm, dexterous hand and active-vision system across data collection, training and policy deployment.
- The partners plan to demonstrate D1 jointly at WAIC 2026 as a research and education platform.
