FastLabel has entered a partnership with ugo to support data production and operations infrastructure for physical AI. FastLabel will provide its Data Factory Operations solution for VTLA model development under GENIAC, a national project run by METI and NEDO, and for ugo Physical AI Fabric, which began rollout on Wednesday, September 16. The GENIAC project aims to autonomize contact-rich manufacturing assembly work using a dual-arm semi-humanoid robot.
The GENIAC project selected under METI and NEDO targets contact-rich manufacturing assembly work using a dual-arm semi-humanoid robot, and FastLabel's Data Factory Operations will handle data collection, quality control, and the operational infrastructure that feeds real-world data back into model improvement. The two companies previously worked together on robot foundation model development under the AWS Japan Physical AI Development Support Program. ugo Physical AI Fabric covers robot hardware, data collection, model development, and real-world verification.
