China is entering an era in which everyone is a data collector JD.com launched China’s first Embodied AI Data Collection Community in Suqian,Jiangsu(the hometown of JD.com founder Liu Qiangdong) They plan to mobilize over 100,000 local citizens(especially stay-at-home moms )to wear a lightweight JoyEgoCam while doing daily chores. From wiping tables and folding clothes at home, to fruit picking, factory work, logistics, and elderly care… covering more than 100 real-life scenarios. These devices precisely capture key biomechanical data--such as upper-limb trajectories, force distribution, and hand-eye coordination,and feed it back to JD's data centers to train robotic models. OFC,Participants earn money while helping collect real-world data. The goal?Over 10 million hours in two years to solve robotics’ biggest problem--the severe shortage of authentic physical world data. Really interesting way to get everyday people involved in advancing AI humanoid robots.

I'm giving my judgement on the @useKled case with founder @avipat_ on today This Week in Startups
