Currently, JD.com's embodied data collection has covered more than 100 specialized production and service scenarios and gathered over 100,000 real-world work tasks. Cao Peng noted that competition in physical AI is not merely a matter of individual advances in models and robotic bodies, but rather a contest of system-level capabilities.
