Located in Guizhou Science City, the center has a planned total area of 5,000 square meters, with 1,500 sq m completed in the first phase.
Unlike traditional image and text annotation facilities, the center collects real-world robotic operation data, including joint torque, end-effector positions, and tactile feedback, to help train and improve embodied AI models. It will feature simulated home and retail environments, motion-capture systems, and multidimensional sensors.
The facility will serve humanoid robot manufacturers, AI research teams, universities, and specialized industries by providing standardized, high-quality datasets.
China had more than 70 operational embodied AI training centers as of June, with another 46 under construction or in the planning stage. However, the supply of high-quality embodied AI data remains insufficient, particularly in southwestern China.
Guizhou Science City has already brought together 16 digital economy companies. The new center is expected to help attract more than 30 related companies within three years, supporting the development of Guizhou's digital economy.
