China Establishes Humanoid Robot Training Schools

China is accelerating efforts to commercialize humanoid robots by opening dedicated robot schools and more than 40 state-backed data collection centers, according to local reports. Provinces including Anhui, Zhejiang and Shandong operate facilities that generate detailed motion, visual and force datasets—one Shijiazhuang center logs about 6 million entries yearly and reports 95% task success—aiming to deploy humanoids in manufacturing and logistics and generating roughly 566 million yuan in sales from three centers.
