How Did Its Biggest Rival, Yushu, Split Up Again?
China's humanoid robotics firm Zhiyuan has spun off another company, Mbee Technology, focusing on data collection and processing for embodied AI. Amid a severe "data famine" in the embodied intelligence industry, high-quality real-world interaction data is seen as critical as computing power was for large language models. While teleoperated robots provide high-quality data, the process is expensive. Mbee aims to scale data collection through "embodiment-free" wearable devices and offers a data governance platform and marketplace. However, as a Zhiyuan affiliate, Mbee must prove its neutrality to attract competitors. It faces competition from other data platform players like JD.com. The success of its ambitious goal to reach tens of millions of hours of data capacity by 2026 hinges on gaining industry trust and demonstrating the value of its standardized data supply.
