About SN112 THOR
THOR Group@THORMachines500,000+ hours of raw video behind one robotics model. A city subsidising companies' data purchases. China's robotics data work is turning into a supply chain. This is THOR Signals, our new series on the robotics data market, starting with China. For context, China accounted for 59% of global industrial robot installations in 2025. Within that industry, three roles are taking shape: • @beingbeyond_: model development BeingBeyond builds models that help robots understand their surroundings and perform physical tasks. For Being-H0.8, the model behind those 500,000+ hours, raw video was filtered, reconstructed and reviewed before training. • @PaXiniAI: specialist data supply PaXini makes tactile sensors and training data combining vision, touch and movement. BeingBeyond names it an important data partner for Being-H0.8. • @LightwheelAI: connecting training with deployment Lightwheel supplies simulation, demonstration data and evaluation, and reported about $100M in Q1 2026 orders. At automaker Geely, factory demonstrations feed training, and testing shows where more data is needed. Government is shaping demand too. Hangzhou's 2026–2027 action plan subsidises companies' purchases of data products and services (up to 30%, capped at RMB300,000). The national pilot base there invited outside data partners on 30 September across 25 task scenarios. What we don't know yet: how much teams outsource, and which services they buy repeatedly. For THOR, that's the question: which tasks do teams commission externally, and why choose a specialist over building in-house? More from THOR in China to come. THOR Signals · China
