Embodied AI data workshop held in Suzhou: views from frontline decision-makers on models, data, and real-world deployment

On October 26, 2026, Robot Industry Application held a closed-door embodied AI data workshop in Suzhou Industrial Park, with more than 20 frontline decision-makers from models, data, real-world deployment, and chip infrastructure participating. Data vendors believe demand for embodied data is far from saturated, but model vendors argued that startups cannot scale data indefinitely; those on the deployment side emphasized cost reduction, efficiency gains, and the logic of calculating returns, and discussed mass production and standardization of tactile electronic skin.
