Five Ages
中科第五纪AdvancedA Chinese embodied-AI startup reportedly closely connected to the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Five Ages is a Beijing-based embodied-AI startup. It reportedly has close ties to the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA): the June 2025 paper on the 3D manipulation model BridgeVLA lists FiveAges as an author affiliation alongside CASIA and ByteDance Seed. On GitHub, under the name fiveages-sim, the company has open-sourced a set of engineering code, including ROS 2 deployment workspaces for dual-arm robots (such as the Dobot CR5 and ARX robot arms), Isaac Sim scene assets, and reinforcement-learning examples, with a focus leaning toward robot-arm manipulation models and sim-to-real deployment. Public information about its founding date and funding is limited, so this entry does not go into further detail.
