    Open X-Embodiment and RT-X: A Practical Guide to Cross-Embodiment Transfer for Large-Model Robot Policies

    This article provides a systematic walkthrough of cross-embodiment transfer practice with Open X-Embodiment and RT-X, covering RLDS data-format unification, the RT-X model architecture, pretraining, fine-tuning, and deployment on new robots. It presents RLDS conversion scripts, a PyTorch implementation of an RT-1-based model, and training techniques such as temperature sampling and embodiment-weighted loss, and it documents six categories of pitfalls, including slow data loading, poor cross-embodiment performance, and action-space mismatch, along with corresponding solutions.

    AgiBot, Tsinghua, and Infinigence AI Release CEL Collective Experience Learning Paradigm, Achieving Autonomous Cluster Evolution with 96 Real Robots

    On October 30, AgiBot, together with Tsinghua University and Infinigence AI, released the collective experience learning paradigm CEL, which draws on the real operational trajectories of robot peers as its source of experience, accompanied by the FERT failure-guided experience retrieval fine-tuning algorithm and the FATS fault-tolerant asynchronous training system. Across five real-world tasks—flower arranging, clothes folding, phone charging, stool assembly, and phone packaging—CEL-trained policies all exceeded the average level of 6 human teleoperators, leading by up to 16.7 percentage points. In the phone packaging task, the number of robots participating in training expanded from 16 to 96, and the success rate rose from 86.7% to 98.3%.

    Why it matters: Readers can learn about a collective learning paradigm that draws on the real trajectories of peers as its source of experience, as well as the success-rate changes in cluster training with 96 real robots.

    Will data collection become a "sacrifice" of embodied intelligence?

    The article notes that in less than two years, 106 humanoid robot data collection centers have been built nationwide in China. Some robot companies inflate reported revenue through a "sell equipment—buy back data" arrangement, and Mech-Mind founder Shao Tianlan has publicly mentioned such irregularities. Data prices have fallen from over 200 yuan per hour last year to over 100 yuan this year, and collection methods are shifting from real-robot teleoperation to bodyless collection, reducing the need for data collection centers to purchase robots. The article also cites Forbes' questioning of Figure AI's valuation bubble and a speculation that industry consolidation is expected to become concentrated between the second half of 2026 and 2027.

Coding, with clear feedback, is currently the largest AI application by revenue, with Cursor's annualized revenue rising from over $1 billion to about $2.6 billion within a year. Embodied intelligence is seen as the most active but also the earliest stage; Ji Wei gave a conservative expectation of a "ChatGPT moment" in 5-10 years, while Lui Chun-yung noted that screwdriving still requires engineers as a fallback and that logistics handling has not yet met stability standards, with current deployment mostly in limited scenarios such as patrol inspection.
