China has unveiled its first standardized data platform and dataset standards for humanoid robots, marking a major milestone in the unified development of “embodied intelligence.” Announced at the 2025 Pujiang Innovation Forum, the initiative sets out common rules for data collection, labeling, and storage—creating a universal “data language” for the industry and breaking long-standing data silos.
The National Robot Testing and Evaluation Center has also issued China’s first CR (China Robot Product Certification) for humanoid robot datasets, formally recognizing standardized data as a cornerstone for industrial applications. The newly launched “Pujiang X (DOME)” platform integrates the entire data lifecycle—from acquisition to validation—enhancing collaboration, interoperability, and access for developers.
Experts believe the new standards will boost efficiency, lower redundant R&D costs, and accelerate large-scale deployment across manufacturing, household services, and healthcare sectors.
By strengthening data security and reducing dependence on foreign datasets, China seeks to gain a strategic edge and transition from a global participant to a rule-maker in the field of humanoid robotics.
