China Opens Massive Humanoid Robot Training Center to Boost Industrial and Home Automation
  • The training program emphasizes scenario-based data collection to generate high-quality, labeled datasets for large-model development, addressing a bottleneck in the robotics industry.

  • Each robot is guided by two human trainers who rotate roles to ensure accuracy, consistency, and comprehensive data gathering, mirroring how children learn through repeated practice.

  • Robots trained at the central facility have already been deployed in real-world roles, including material handling for factories like China FAW Group, courier services for Shenzhen Capital Group, and power-line inspections for China Southern Power Grid.

  • A replication and monitoring process uses two instructors guiding a robot in real time (for activities such as packaging with bubble wrap) while a third party records performance data, rotating roles every two hours to maintain consistency.

  • Centralization enables standardized data production and cost-effective datasets, with the center expected to generate several million high-quality data entries annually and to link with other sites nationwide.

  • The facility aims to generate several million high-quality data entries per year and connects with other centers in Suzhou, Jinan, Hefei, and Zhengzhou to build a national data network.

  • The center reproduces real-world production lines and living environments across two floors with modular training cells that can be reconfigured to simulate different scenarios.

  • The two-story facility uses modular, reconfigurable training areas to cover tasks from coil sorting and parcel packing to cooking and bedroom organization, mirroring production lines and everyday environments.

  • China has opened the Phase II Beijing Humanoid Robot Data Training Center in Shijingshan district to train humanoid robots for industrial, home, and public-space tasks.

  • Described as the largest facility of its kind in China, the Beijing center functions as a school for humanoid robots before deployment, addressing data shortages.

  • Robots are categorized into four broad skill areas, further divided into 16 disciplines, with over 20 operational skills trained to date and current task success rates above 95%.

  • The training program emphasizes major categories—industrial manufacturing, smart home applications, elderly care, and 5G-integrated scenarios—broken into 16 disciplines, with more than 20 skills trained and over 95% task success.
