BeingBeyond

A Beijing embodied-foundation-model startup whose Being-H series learns dexterous manipulation from videos of human hands.

BeingBeyond is an embodied-AI foundation model company based in Haidian, Beijing, founded by a team from Peking University led by Zongqing Lu (reportedly in 2025), who is also the corresponding author on most of its papers. Its core idea is “human-centric”: pretraining on large amounts of human-hand video and motion-capture data, then transferring that to robot dexterous hands and humanoids. Its model lineup includes the Being-H series for dexterous-hand manipulation (Being-H0 was accepted to ICML 2026, followed by H0.5 and H0.7), Being-M for whole-body motion generation, the multimodal model Being-VL, and the humanoid whole-body control framework BumbleBee (a NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight). On the hardware side it has the D1 desktop dexterous arm and the Being-Actor humanoid whole-body teleoperation system, and in March 2026 it released the data-collection device U1.

ExampleBeing-H0 is first pretrained on about 1,100 hours of human-hand data called UniHand, then fine-tuned on a small amount of real-robot data to transfer to a dexterous hand for grasping and manipulation.
