DeepMotor: Beijing Startup Betting on First-Person Human Data for Embodied AGI

Beijing startup DeepMotor, founded in early 2025, bet early on embodied AGI trained with authentic first-person human video data.

Despite investor skepticism, the company’s approach was later echoed in 2025–2026 by Tesla, GeneralistAI, FigureAI, and NVIDIA.

DeepMotor is now scaling rapidly after raising substantial funding, with a focus on robot training and dexterous manipulation.

The story suggests first-person human video could become a key data source for embodied AI, and DeepMotor moved on it ahead of many global rivals.
