To better meet industry needs, a robot training technology and innovation center of Tianfu Jiangxi Laboratory in Chengdu has built a robot training base featuring full-scale simulations of real life. The center has also developed a data platform that continuously generates datasets for different scenarios, helping robots to apply what they learn to real-world applications. After sufficient training, robots are ready for commercial use.
