The world's largest embodied artificial intelligence data facility, Pacini Perception Technology's Super Embodied Intelligence Data (Super EID) Factory, officially opened in Tianjin Municipality on Tuesday.
Spanning 12,000 square meters, the facility is the world's leading base for embodied AI data collection and model training. Equipped with 150 data units developed in-house, it is expected to produce nearly 200 million high-quality AI training samples annually.
The base features a "15+N" full-scenario matrix system encompassing thousands of task scenarios across automotive manufacturing, 3C (computer, communication, and consumer electronics) product assembly, household, office, and food service environments.
Xu Jincheng, Pacini's CEO and founder, explained that the facility's core technology utilizes synchronized high-precision capture of human hand movements combined with visual-tactile modality alignment. This means the data samples combine 3D vision and touch-sensing, allowing robots to better mimic human interaction.
The approach overcomes traditional robotics-dependent data collection limitations and dramatically improves data versatility, Xu said.
The facility will not only serve as a data hub but also evolve into an innovation engine for the embodied AI industry, the CEO added.
China has produced nearly 100 embodied AI robotic products since 2024, capturing 70% of the global market, according to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in April.
According to a report from Head Leopard Shanghai Research Institute, China's embodied AI market size reached 418.6 billion yuan ($58 billion) in 2023 and is expected to reach 632.8 billion yuan by 2027, driven by breakthroughs in AI technology, the Securities Daily reported.
