Notes from building Physical AI Labs and XR Labs: robot training and teleoperation, data collection, CAVEs and simulation training.
Physical AI ·
In October, YYForce opened a robotics training and data centre in Singapore, then announced an 11-robot fleet at a Singapore hotel. What was announced, what was not, and what it takes to build a robot training and data facility.

Robot Training ·
NVIDIA made Isaac Lab 3.0 generally available in October 2026, alongside a SimReady asset library and a Human 1M dataset with 3D hand tracking. What changed, what breaks, and how teams running VR and MANUS glove teleoperation should plan the move.

MANUS Gloves ·
Two published use cases show where a data glove sits in a real humanoid or dexterous-hand system: a whole-body teleoperation rig behind the Psi-0 foundation model, and a ROS 2 pipeline for a 12-degree-of-freedom robot hand.

MANUS Gloves ·
A data glove records a human hand, but a robot hand has different joints, sizes and limits. Six research papers from 2025 and 2026 show how teams map glove motion onto dexterous robot hands, and what that means for building a Physical AI lab.

Semiconductor Training ·
Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore need more semiconductor talent, and cleanroom time is the bottleneck. Here is how VR cleanroom training helps, step by step.

TVET ·
Malaysia's Budget 2027 gives TVET RM8 billion, but institutions can hold only about 450,000 students at once. Here is how VR simulation labs stretch that.
