RLWRLD, a physical AI company, said on 9 November it was chosen for NVIDIA's investment plan for South Korean AI start-ups. NVIDIA announced the plan at a forum it held with South Korea's science and ICT ministry in Seoul.

RLWRLD plans to use the money to improve its robotics model RLDX-1 and to spread use of it at industrial partners. It will combine the model with NVIDIA's simulation technology.

The same day it presented DexBench, a benchmark of how accurately robot hands work, built around retail, logistics and assembly settings. RLWRLD plans to publish the code, test setup, training data, baseline models and a leaderboard so researchers and robot makers can compare robot AI on one footing.
