SAN JOSE, Calif., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For robots to operate reliably in the real world, they must train in environments that accurately represent it. This is the core challenge behind Real2Sim—and the focus of XGRIDS’ presence at GTC 2026 (March 16–19, San Jose).

XGRIDS’ spatial intelligence solution now supports NVIDIA Omniverse NuRec for OpenUSD-based rendering, and appeared across multiple venues: a featured Startup Pitch, robotics demonstrations within NVIDIA’s ecosystem, and a joint showcase with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Real2Sim: From Physical Space to AI Training

During Startup Pitch, XGRIDS Director Sunny Liao posed a central question:
How do you build training environments that truly reflect real-world conditions?

XGRIDS’ answer is a pipeline built on real-world data. By combining LiDAR and computer vision for multimodal spatial perception with high-fidelity 3D reconstruction, physical environments can be transformed into usable world models for simulation.

Compared to manual 3D modeling, this approach:

• Reduces the cost of building high-fidelity environments
• Enables continuous updates as real spaces evolve
• Keeps simulation closer to real-world deployment

Developers at GTC noted this offers a more practical path for robotics training and validation.

Spatial Intelligence for Physical AI

Beyond the Inception stage, XGRIDS’ solutions appeared at multiple showcase areas across GTC.

At the NVIDIA Robotics session, XGRIDS demonstrated its solution for embodied AI systems. By deploying spatial perception and modeling on quadruped robot platforms, robots can continuously map and understand their environments, using full 3D spatial structure for path planning, behavioral decision-making, and task execution rather than relying solely on local sensors for immediate obstacle avoidance.

It demonstrated how spatial intelligence integrates into embodied AI systems—enabling robots to understand full 3D environments for path planning, decision-making, and task execution.

At the AWS showcase, XGRIDS presented a complete Real2Sim workflow—from capture to world model generation to simulation training.

Looking Ahead

XGRIDS’ long-term focus remains consistent: building spatial intelligence infrastructure that converts real-world environments into world models AI systems can understand, reason about, and train on.

GTC 2026 marked a step in bringing this work into the Physical AI ecosystem. As embodied AI systems move from labs into warehouses, cities, and construction sites, the demand for accurate, scalable digital representations of environments will only grow.

XGRIDS is building the capture-to-simulation layer that makes that possible.

TCL Founder and Chairman Li Dongsheng in an In-Depth Dialogue with the United Nations Global Compact

SHENZHEN, China, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL Founder and Chairman Li Dongsheng recently participated in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) “ESG+20 Sustainability Leaders Interview Series.” During the session, he spoke with Ms. Liu Meng, Head of China Office with the UNGC. Li shared how TCL implements ESG principles into its global operations, advances green and low-carbon transformation, and promotes coordinated development across its industrial chain. The discussion also highlighted how TCL invests in communities through its global value chain to contribute to mutually beneficial outcomes.

On green and carbon reduction practices, Li noted that manufacturing is a major energy consumer and companies must pursue innovation in production technologies, processes, and workflows to achieve energy savings. For example, TCL CSOT implemented multiple energy-saving measures across its manufacturing operations in 2024, achieving electricity savings of 220,000 MWh. In October 2025, the company announced the construction of a printed OLED production line designed to significantly reduce power consumption compared with traditional vacuum evaporation processes, reducing carbon emissions at the source. On the product side, TCL’s FreshIN energy-saving air conditioner was honored with the “AI Energy-Saving Technology Gold Award” at IFA 2025 in Berlin, for its carbon footprint-reducing green design. At the industry level, TCL Zhonghuan supports the global development of clean energy with its core products and contributes to the transformation of global energy infrastructure.

As a leading company within its industrial chain, TCL, through TCL Industries and TCL Technology, has consistently encouraged upstream and downstream partners to implement ESG principles. The company has established supplier requirements covering labor rights protection and operational compliance, promoting responsible practices across the value chain.

Li emphasized that in its global expansion, TCL operates to “the highest standards” when navigating diverse regulatory environments. From its acquisition of Thomson’s color TV business and Alcatel’s mobile phone business in 2004 to the establishment of manufacturing bases in Mexico and Vietnam, TCL has evolved from exporting products to co-building local industrial capabilities. Sustainability principles are embedded in its global operations, creating value for local economies and communities, as well as employees.

“For advanced manufacturing, technological innovation is the most critical core capability,” Li noted. TCL invests approximately RMB12 billion (about USD 1.74 billion) annually in R&D and has accumulated 124,000 patents, including nearly 20,000 PCT patents. In recent years, TCL has integrated large AI models into its intelligent manufacturing systems, improving efficiency and quality and shortening R&D cycles. In 2024, these initiatives generated RMB530 million (around USD 76.8 million) in economic benefits for TCL CSOT.

Li emphasized that the essence of brand reputation lies in fulfilling social responsibility and earning consumer trust. TCL has fully incorporated ESG into the business strategies and annual plans of all its business units and publishes ESG reports annually, demonstrating transparency and accountability. In 2025, TCL also became a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, attracting significant global market visibility. That year, its sales in the European market increased by 30%, reflecting the mutually reinforcing relationship between commercial performance and social value.

Since officially joining the UNGC in July 2024, TCL has been committed to supporting the organization’s Ten Principles across human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, and to actively advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

From reducing its own energy consumption and emissions to strengthening supply chain collaboration, and from upholding the highest global standards to driving green development through technological innovation and responsible brand building, TCL has embraced a “doer” mindset and fully embedded ESG into its corporate strategy.
