On September 10, 2026, the Chinese National Data Administration held a meeting on embodied AI, led by Liu Leihong, with participation from key institutions and companies. The meeting discussed ways to leverage data to support the development of embodied AI, including contributions from the Automation Institute and the Beijing General AI Institute.
