JD.com Will Build the World's Largest Embodied Data Collection Center

Sina Tech News, March 16th — According to JD.com’s Blackboard Report, leveraging its core advantages in the super supply chain and extensive real-world business scenarios such as retail, logistics, healthcare, industry, food delivery, and domestic services, JD.com will build the world’s largest and most comprehensive embodied intelligence data collection center. Over the next two years, it aims to accumulate more than 10 million hours of high-quality data, helping the embodied intelligence industry transition from algorithm simulation to a new stage driven by real data.

It is reported that JD.com has established an industry-leading robot data collection center, creating a full-process data pipeline of “collection—annotation—training—validation,” covering five core scenarios: logistics warehousing, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, household services, and urban maintenance, recording multi-dimensional data such as vision, touch, and spatial trajectories.

Additionally, JD.com will leverage its over 20 years of accumulated scene resources to mobilize tens of thousands of people for data collection, including more than 100,000 internal employees of various professions and up to 500,000 external industry personnel. In Suqian alone, over 100,000 citizens will be engaged, covering more than a hundred detailed scenarios from homes, offices, factories, logistics, stores, restaurants, medical facilities, to sanitation, spanning all aspects of human activity. This will be the largest data collection effort in human history. All data collection will be conducted strictly in accordance with laws and regulations.

Through these initiatives, JD.com plans to accumulate 5 million hours of real-world human scene videos within one year and surpass 10 million hours in two years, while also collecting 1 million hours of robot data, becoming the world’s largest embodied intelligence data company and addressing the industry’s “data shortage” from the source.
