Virtuals Robotics: Why Did We Enter the Embodied Intelligence Field?
Digital intelligence acquires entity, where thought and action converge in the realm of robotics.

Since its inception, Virtuals' core goal has always been to build a society of AI agents—a network where agents can collaborate, transact, and create value.
· Through ACP, we have achieved business transactions between agents.
· Through Butler, we have built a collaboration bridge between humans and agents.
· Through Unicorn, we have addressed the capitalization issue for agents.
Each layer is expanding the boundaries of digital intelligence. And now, this network extends into the physical world through robotics, where intelligence has taken on a tangible presence, and action has become tangible.

Artificial intelligence has automated reasoning, blockchain has empowered large-scale collaboration, and robotics has approached physical execution.
These three forces together form a closed loop, constructing a self-sustaining system where thoughts, actions, and transactions can autonomously propagate.
This fusion defines Agentic GDP (aGDP), the total output generated by the collaboration of humans, agents, and machines in the digital and physical domains.

Our exploration of robotics began within our internal venture capital division, investing in cutting-edge teams at the intersection of perception, control, and automation. These early experiments revealed the two core bottlenecks limiting the materialization of agents:
· Data: Without rich spatial datasets, embodied AI cannot learn to perceive or act effectively.
· Capital: Without scalable funding mechanisms, innovation in robotics will remain slow and fragmented.
Addressing these two issues is key to accelerating the development of physical intelligence.

Virtuals have chosen a "Middle Way" strategy to tackle the challenges of robotics.
We are not directly involved in hardware or model development, but instead focus on the invisible yet pivotal levers, building data and capital infrastructure that supports the ecosystem.
· Through SeeSaw: We have introduced a self-centric data platform that redefines how the world is captured and learned, enabling robots to "see" and understand space through human-recorded experiences.
· Through Unicorn: We have reimagined the funding mechanism for cutting-edge technologies.

With the integration of these systems, Virtuals have evolved from a digital agent platform into a full-stack intelligent engine.
If the past decade was defined by information technology, the next decade will be defined by materialization, representing a moment where ideas take on physical form.
Through robotic technology, the agent's internet extends into the physical world, completing the loop between intelligence, collaboration, and existence.
