Gasgoo Munich- PsiBot and Taihang Cultural Tourism Group have formed a strategic partnership, according to Gasgoo Embodied Intelligence. The two sides aim to launch a pilot project in Changzhi that combines "embodied intelligence, cultural tourism, and industry." The plan centers on a PsiBot data factory designed to bridge gaps in the embodied intelligence value chain.
Specifically, the collaboration covers six key areas: co-building the data factory, forming equity joint ventures, technology enablement, market operations, talent development, and real-world scenario applications. They aim to accelerate the development of this intelligent data facility.

Anchoring the "Shanxi-Changzhi PsiBot Data Factory" is the Taichu AI Global Intelligent Delivery Center. Developed by the Taihang Zhiyuan Embodied Intelligence Application Research Institute, it includes China's first real-world data collection zone. Construction is underway, with an official opening slated for August.
Unlike homogeneous, single-function robot 6S outlets, this project creates a composite industrial innovation platform in China. Integrating four core pillars—an embodied intelligence theme pavilion, an AI app store, a real-world data collection factory, and an immersive training commercial block—the hub serves as a one-stop platform for technology display, product trading, data iteration, and hands-on training. This establishes a full industrial loop spanning R&D testing, real-world data production, smart product trading, and scenario-based delivery. It offers value in industry promotion, study tours, research, and tech-focused tourism.
Founded in 2024, PsiBot positions itself as a provider of "embodied intelligence brains," avoiding heavy-asset hardware manufacturing.
Its competitive edge lies in capturing "human operational data" at minimal cost. Using its proprietary Psi-SynEngine embodied data collection engine—paired with lightweight exoskeleton tactile gloves—the company efficiently gathers authentic interaction data. A company executive revealed this approach slashes comprehensive data collection costs to roughly one-tenth of traditional real-machine solutions.
Prior to this partnership, PsiBot completed small-scale validation in client logistics warehouses, achieving gains in sorting efficiency. Building on that momentum, the company plans to build China's largest dexterous hand dataset by 2026. This effort aims to lay a data foundation, helping embodied intelligence transition from technical leadership to a commercial closed loop.
