SKAI Intelligence Establishes Corporate Research Institute to Expand Industrial Synthetic Data Infrastructure

SKAI Intelligence, a digital twin and synthetic data solutions company, announced on April 29 that it has been officially recognized by the Korea Industrial Technology Association (KOITA) for the establishment of its corporate research institute. The company will accelerate the advancement of industrial synthetic data and physical AI technologies.

The launch of the research institute comes amid rapidly growing demand for training data to build physical AI systems in industrial fields such as manufacturing and robotics. SKAI Intelligence has set up a dedicated R&D organization to expand its digital twin-based technologies into a wide range of industrial sectors.

In particular, the establishment of this research institute is viewed as a long-term strategy to broaden the company’s technological competitiveness beyond traditional AI 3D content production and into the industrial synthetic data domain based on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. The company has built an industrial synthetic data generation pipeline using the Omniverse platform and has accumulated related technological expertise.

The company’s core ‘Real-to-Simulation (Real-to-Sim)’ technology precisely implements real-world data into virtual environments, and is now being extended to ‘Simulation-to-Real (Sim-to-Real)’ technology, which applies data generated in the virtual environment back to the real world. These technologies are regarded as essential elements in the realization of physical AI.

SKAI Intelligence is an official NVIDIA retail partner and is the only domestic company among the 13 global companies listed on the official NVIDIA website. Through the establishment of the research institute, the company plans to accelerate the advancement of industrial synthetic data technology and expand the related infrastructure.

In addition, SKAI Intelligence will strengthen its industry-academic cooperation with domestic and overseas companies and universities, and plans to expand its R&D workforce.

CEO Lee Jaecheol stated, “The biggest challenge in the field of physical AI is narrowing the gap between training data and the real environment. SKAI Intelligence is bridging this gap through synthetic data and realizing a Sim-to-Real structure that enables AI to work directly in real-world environments.” He added, “With the establishment of the research institute, we aim to become a core infrastructure company for the manufacturing and robotics industries.”

SKAI Intelligence is affiliated with SKAI Worldwide, a KOSDAQ-listed company, and has provided AI 3D data and content solutions across various fields, including the global luxury and retail industries, by leveraging NVIDIA Omniverse-based technology. Through the establishment of the domestic research institute, the company aims to strengthen connections with overseas R&D organizations and accelerate the enhancement of its industrial synthetic data technology competitiveness.
