People watch a humanoid robot at a robot center in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, July 15, 2026. In recent years, Hefei is actively promoting the development of intelligent robot industry, building a full-chain R&D and manufacturing system, and facilitating the transition of robots from laboratories to real-life scenarios.

Put into operation in November of 2025, the training venue for the Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI) robots data collection in Hefei, also called "the University for Robots", now has about 100 training robots and covers a training area of 6,000 square meters. Robots here learn to do housework, carry boxes, and select goods, getting prepared for their work in real scenarios.

This April, a robot center providing one-stop service of robot purchase, renting, changing, high-end customization and repairing opened in Yaohai District of Hefei.

So far, Hefei has gathered 190 enterprises from the upstream and downstream of the EAI robot industry chain. The city is accelerating the process of technology transformation and commercial application in the meantime. (Xinhua/Liu Junxi)
