What is synthetic and sim-to-real data?

Synthetic data is generated inside physics simulators like Isaac Sim and MuJoCo — domain randomization varies lighting, textures, object shapes, and camera poses across thousands of scenes so your policy trains on diversity it could never see in a real lab.

Typical use cases

  • Pre-training — millions of cheap episodes before fine-tuning on real data
  • Long-tail augmentation — simulate rare failure modes that are expensive to stage physically
  • Perception bootstrapping — photorealistic renders with free ground-truth labels
  • Policy stress-testing — systematic perturbations to find failure boundaries

Why teams partner with us

We build the scenes, run the randomization, and validate that sim-trained policies transfer to your hardware before you see a bill for real data.

  • 200+ scene templates — kitchens, warehouses, hospitals, retail
  • 91% transfer rate — validated on partner hardware
  • 10K sims/day — GPU-scaled generation pipeline

Why outsource sim data?

Scene authoring and domain randomization tuning is specialized work. We maintain the asset library and sim infrastructure so your ML team stays focused on architectures.

10,000+ scenes generated per day.

5 randomization dimensions per scene.

91% sim-to-real transfer validated.

What we deliver

Where simulation finally pays back

Four synthetic outputs designed to close the sim-to-real gap, not widen it.

Randomized scenes

Domain randomization across textures, lighting, physics, and object placement.

Paired sim + real

Identical scenes captured in sim and reality for direct gap measurement.

Parameter sweep batches

Controlled-variable runs for ablations and curriculum design.

Distribution-matched synthetic

Synthetic generated to match your real-world statistics.

How we work

From template to validated dataset

A pipeline that ends with sim-to-real metrics, not just rendered frames.

1Step 1

Scene template

Build the parameterized scene with your team. Variables and ranges locked.

2Step 2

Randomize

Domain randomization sweeps across textures, lighting, physics, and asset variants.

3Step 3

Simulate

Batch generation with quality gates. Failed sims rejected, not shipped.

4Step 4

Validate

Sim-to-real metrics against held-out real captures. Transfer rate reported per batch.

What our partners say
Their sim-to-real bridge data closed a thirty-point success gap on our pick-place tasks. We stopped fighting domain randomization and started shipping policies.

FAQ

Questions about synthetic and sim-to-real data

Isaac Sim, Mujoco, PyBullet, Gazebo, and Genesis. We can also work in custom proprietary simulators if you share access.
Through domain randomisation, photorealistic rendering, and blending synthetic data with real-world capture in proportions tuned to your transfer benchmarks. We measure transfer quality and iterate until targets are met.
Yes. We systematically generate failure-inducing scenarios — lighting extremes, occlusion patterns, novel object placements — that are underrepresented in real-world capture and critical for robust policies.
We run transfer benchmarks on a held-out real-world test set and report the delta between sim-trained and real-trained policy performance. You get a quantified quality score with every synthetic batch.
