Embodied AI Data Intermediary Platform & Industry Intelligence & Compliant Trading API

📌 Background

In 2026, China's data elements are transitioning toward a platform-based and service-oriented ecosystem, with embodied AI data becoming a tradable asset driven by AI crawling and labeling capabilities. According to the '2026 Embodied AI Robot Data Industry Layout Research Report' by ResearchInChina, as of early 2026, the total global high-quality real physical interaction data was only about 500,000 hours, whereas training general embodied models requires tens of millions of hours, representing a gap of over 99% (according to industry report metrics); furthermore, data exchange commission rates have dropped from an initial 10% to 1%-5%.
