At this year's World Robot Conference, China showcased its efforts in establishing numerous embodied-intelligence data centers. These facilities are part of a broader industry shift from merely constructing robotic bodies to focusing on the data necessary for training their cognitive capabilities.
The emphasis on data harvesting is crucial as the robotics sector recognizes the need for substantial datasets to enhance the performance of embodied intelligence systems. Despite the establishment of 90 data factories, experts indicate that the current data volume remains insufficient to fully support the development of advanced robotic brains.
Looking ahead, the industry must address the data scarcity issue to ensure the effective training of embodied intelligence. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
