XDOF has emerged from stealth with $70 million in fundraising to build core infrastructure for robot foundation models.
The company was co-founded by Philipp Wu, Yide Shentu, and Nemo Jin, who are focused on advancing general-purpose robotics.
XDOF said it has already been working behind the scenes with major labs and companies deploying robots. The company positions itself as a full-stack robotics partner with expertise across hardware, operations, and policy training.
As its first public contribution to the robotics ecosystem, XDOF is open-sourcing ABC-130K, which it describes as the largest open-source teleoperation dataset.
The dataset was developed in collaboration with partners from UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, and Amazon FAR.
XDOF said its broader goal is to help accelerate the development and deployment of general-purpose robots by providing foundational infrastructure for companies, labs, customers, and collaborators working in robotics.
