Axis Robotics released AXIS, a browser-based system and dataset pipeline for collecting robot manipulation demonstrations with backend GPUs and a continually growing dataset concept. The released snapshot includes 207 tasks and 50,129 verified trajectories, gated at 2.36 TB for non-commercial academic use.

European tech investment slowed in August as companies raised €3.2 billion across 165 funding rounds, down from €8.6 billion across 267 deals in July.
