NAVER D2SF completes follow on investment in NdotLight
NAVER D2SF executed a follow on investment in NdotLight to support data infrastructure required for physical AI training simulations
SEONGNAM, South Korea, Aug. 11, 2026 - NAVER D2SF, the corporate venture arm of NAVER, has chosen to make a follow-on investment in NdotLight, a data infrastructure company focusing on physical AI. The round amounted to KRW 15 billion and was spearheaded by Korea Development Bank. This marks NAVER D2SF's third funding round for NdotLight, after its involvement in Pre-Series A and Series A rounds in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
The decision to invest further was driven by NdotLight's potential to tackle data, a significant hurdle in physical AI. NdotLight's TRINIX technology is a simulation-ready 3D data generation solution that can be directly applied to physical AI training simulations. However, the company has faced challenges in data quality, collection speed, and costs when transferring real-world data to simulation environments for AI training.
NdotLight's solution addresses these issues via an automated pipeline that produces 3D data with physical properties like mass, friction, joint structures, and collision boundary information. TRINIX also integrates with NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA's simulation platform, enabling the company to supply vast, high-quality 3D simulation datasets.
NdotLight's clientele includes humanoid robotics and robotics foundation model companies like Holiday Robotics, AeiRobot, ROBROS, and RLWRLD, as well as physical AI projects backed by major enterprises such as Hyundai Motor Company and LG Electronics. The team behind NdotLight boasts strong technical and business credentials in AI and 3D graphics, with CEO Jinyoung Park's background in 3D launcher development at Samsung Electronics and CTO Suntae Kim's leadership in AI and 3D engine development at NAVER and Samsung Electronics.
NdotLight has been recognized by CB Insights as one of the world's notable 3D engine companies. With this additional funding, the company plans to bolster its workforce and explore fresh collaboration avenues with NdotLight in the realm of physical AI.
