Shanghai's Zhangjiang humanoid training ground opened its first phase with over 100 heterogeneous robots
The national and local humanoid robot innovation center's training ground in Shanghai's Zhangjiang was reported in February 2025 as having deployed more than 100 heterogeneous robots in its first phase, with a stated hope that year of accumulating ten million data entries. The figures come from Liberation Daily reprinted on the Shanghai municipal portal, and the ten million is an expectation the ledger does not print as a result.
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.

- February 2025, Liberation Daily on the Shanghai portal: first phase deployed over 100 heterogeneous robots.
- The same report voiced a hope of ten million data entries that year; no later source reached by the ledger reports the outcome.
- The center co authored the August 2026 CAICT training ground report that counts the national total.
Figures
Every number, with who measured it and when
- 100 robots
Heterogeneous robots deployed in the first phase, at least

What it changes
For a robot maker collecting or buying hours
Heterogeneous is the word that matters: the site was built to record many robot bodies doing the same tasks, which is the data a cross embodiment model wants. It is also the site whose operator wrote the national count, so a buyer reading that count should know who counted.
