## Summary

At a roundtable discussion on October 12 at the 26th China International Industry Fair, Sharpa co-founder Xiang Shaoqing proposed a data pyramid framework in which human operation data, simulation data, and real-machine data build on one another. Unitree founder Wang Xingxing responded that he is more focused on the last few millimeters of manipulation precision in real-machine data, and Academician Wang Jian called for opening up industrial data. The article reviews the differences between Figure Index crowdsourcing, data collection at Tesla's Optimus Academy factory, and China's precision-first approach, and notes that the key dividing line is who first completes the full data loop from collection to use.
