China's Tech Mosaic: Jiangxi's 'super training school' for humanoid robots debuts

Editor's note: China is not one innovation story but many – emerging from local areas across the nation. In this series, we bring you those stories as pieces of a larger mosaic that, when put together, reveal the full picture of a country on the move.

In Jiujiang's Poyang Lake Eco-Tech City, the largest "training school" for humanoid robots in Jiangxi Province has officially been unveiled. Signaling a shift toward data-driven industrial scaling in China's robotics sector.

Spanning 4,000 square meters of intelligent training space, the facility utilizes data as its primary curriculum to bridge the gap between basic mobility and autonomous reasoning. The center currently houses over 100 robots across 15 industrial scenarios, leveraging tens of millions of test data points and proprietary algorithms to refine more than 1,000 customized small models.

Moving beyond traditional investment frameworks, Jiujiang has deployed 650 million yuan ($89.7 million) in targeted funding to synchronize capital with industrial growth. This strategy streamlines the transition from laboratory research to factory floor, establishing a complete supply chain for high-end manufacturing.

By 2026, 10,000 "Jiujiang-made" intelligent robots will be shipped across the country. This output places the region at the forefront of the global humanoid race, transforming theoretical AI into a tangible workforce for diverse industrial applications.
