IT Home, November 4: The Robotics and Embodied Intelligence Forum of the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit was held today in Wuzhen, Zhejiang.
Cao Peng, Chairman of the JD Group Technology Committee, delivered a speech sharing JD.com's latest practices in driving AI from the digital world into the physical world. Currently, JD.com's embodied data collection has covered more than 100 segmented production and service scenarios, collecting over 100,000 real work tasks.
On the application side, JD.com is promoting the integration of AI and robots into the entire supply chain process. For example, over the next five years, JD Logistics plans to procure 3 million robots, 1 million unmanned vehicles, and 100,000 drones. Zhiyuan's embodied robots have already entered JD Logistics' Zhilang Warehouse, where the two parties test product boundaries and improve reliability in real operations, driving robots from single-point operations toward process collaboration.
According to the company, JD.com's AI has currently been applied in more than 3,000 scenarios, including retail, logistics, health, and industry. In addition, JD.com has more than 3,800 warehouses, over 200,000 partner offline retail pharmacies, and more than 10,000 JD MALL, 7Fresh, JD Car Care, and other types of stores. These rich business scenarios provide real environments and continuous feedback for robots to learn tasks such as product handling, warehouse operations, and home services.
To transform scenario resources into trainable data, JD.com is advancing the construction of an embodied intelligence data collection center, with plans to accumulate more than 10 million hours of high-quality real-world human scenario video data and more than 1 million hours of robot body operation data within two years. The related collection will be conducted strictly in accordance with laws and regulations to ensure legality, compliance, safety, and trustworthiness. Currently, it has covered more than 100 segmented production and service scenarios and collected over 100,000 real work tasks.
