Shanghai Electric Launches China’s Largest Humanoid Robot Training Facility
Shanghai, China, 12th March 2025 – Shanghai Electric has taken a big step forward in China’s robotics industry. They have partnered with the National and Local Co-Built Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center to create the country’s first special training facility for humanoid robots. This facility is called the Humanoid Robot Kylin Training Ground, and it marks a new beginning for the development of humanoid robots used in industries.
Right now, the facility can handle over 100 humanoid robots, making it the largest of its kind in China. But the plan is to grow even bigger and train up to 1,000 general-purpose robots by 2027. This will not only make industries work more efficiently but also help create more advanced robot models.
During the launch event, Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group, along with the National-Local Center and other top research institutions, signed an agreement to speed up the use and research of humanoid robots in industries. This partnership will cover training programs across more than ten industries, including mechanical engineering, automobile manufacturing, and home appliances.
The idea is to train these robots so they can collect a lot of data from real-world industrial scenarios. This data will help develop more precise and reliable large-scale robot models, which will be used widely across various sectors.
Shanghai Electric’s central research institute has been working closely with the National-Local Center since March 2024. They are focusing on using humanoid robots in high-risk environments like the nuclear power industry. The goal is to replace traditional high-intensity tasks with robots, making nuclear power operations safer and more efficient.
On December 1, 2024, Shanghai Electric and the National-Local Center successfully deployed the first humanoid robot for routine operations in the nuclear industry. This robot is special because it is designed to handle tasks like inspections and loading/unloading in industrial settings. It also has features for data collection and extensive training.
Looking ahead, Shanghai Electric’s technical team will continue to work with the National-Local Center. They aim to integrate humanoid robots further into nuclear industrial applications. By using Shanghai Electric’s expertise in nuclear energy production and technology, they hope to drive the industry toward greater efficiency, safety, and technological excellence. Shanghai Electric is committed to innovation and industrial progress, ensuring that humanoid robotics plays a big role in shaping the future of intelligent manufacturing.
