Beijing's Shijingshan humanoid data training center reports close to 270 robots producing about 20 million data items a year
The Shijingshan humanoid robot data training center in Beijing was reported in May 2026 as running close to 270 robot units at full load and producing close to 20 million data items a year, up from a figure of more than 6 million a year reported in September 2025. The unit is data items, not hours, and the figures come from Beijing Daily reprinted on the municipal portal.
The verdict
Reported, primary not reached
A reliable secondary source carries the figure or the program, and the primary document could not be reached. Printed with this label, never as verified.

- May 2026, Beijing Daily on the municipal portal: close to 270 robot units training at full load, annual data output close to 20 million items.
- September 2025, an earlier report on a municipal portal: a site of over ten thousand square meters and annual data output above 6 million items.
- Data items is the unit the source used. It is not convertible to hours, and the ledger does not convert it.

What it changes
For a robot maker collecting or buying hours
Two figures eight months apart from the same site show the supply side scaling by a multiple, not a percentage. A buyer should note the unit: an item is whatever the center counts as one, and a contract that pays per item needs the definition written down.
