Shanghai Electric Launches China's First Humanoid Robot Training Facility

Mar 11, 2025
Shanghai Electric has partnered with the National-Local Center to open China's first heterogeneous humanoid robot training facility, aiming to train 1,000 robots by 2027.

Shanghai Electric, in collaboration with the National and Local Co-Built Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center, has launched China's first heterogeneous humanoid robot training facility, the Humanoid Robot Kylin Training Ground. Announced in a press release, this facility is set to train up to 1,000 humanoid robots by 2027, enhancing their application across various industries.

The training ground, currently the largest of its kind in China, can accommodate over 100 humanoid robots. It aims to expand its capacity significantly to support the concurrent training of 1,000 general-purpose robots. This initiative will cover training programs in more than ten industries, including equipment manufacturing, automotive production, and home appliances.

Since March 2024, Shanghai Electric's Central Research Institute has been working with the National-Local Center to explore real-world applications of humanoid robots, particularly in high-risk environments like the nuclear power industry. The first humanoid robot was successfully deployed for routine operations in this sector on December 1, 2024, marking a significant milestone in the integration of robotics into industrial applications.

The facility is equipped with unique design elements focused on configuration and force control, enabling robots to perform tasks such as inspections and loading/unloading in industrial environments. This collaboration aims to drive the widespread adoption and advancement of humanoid robots, enhancing efficiency and safety in various sectors.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
