JINAN, April 23 (Xinhua) -- With the rapid development of embodied artificial intelligence (AI), a new profession - trainers of embodied AI - has emerged, which comprise roles such as data collectors and data annotators.

Jinan and Qingdao in Shandong Province have established robot data collection and training centers tailored to various scenarios.

Equipped with simulated workshops replicating real-world environments such as automotive manufacturing, 3-C factories, logistics, retailing, and household care-giving, these centers allow trainers to guide robots one on one through tasks like grasping, identifying, walking, and delivering. Trainers resort to VR devices for demonstration, precise calibration, and data recording.

Through thousands of repetitions and corrections, massive amounts of real machine data are generated, making embodied AI increasingly smart and capable of service in all walks of life.
