The Tianhe Embodied Intelligence Industrial Park is accelerating innovation through robust policy support.

Up to 100 million yuan annually is allocated for core research areas including VLA/VA models, world models, synthetic data, multi-modal datasets, dexterous hands, and multi-dimensional sensors. A 200-million-yuan annual fund supports R&D testing and product iteration to meet heavy computing demands.

Ten million yuan each is set aside annually for multi-modal data collection, high-quality dataset development, and accelerating real-world deployment. Efforts also cover standard-setting, testing and certification, and talent cultivation.

A "subsidy-to-investment" pilot converts grants into equity investment. International cooperation is encouraged in research, standards, and talent exchange to expand global markets. These measures aim to enhance competitiveness, accelerate large-scale adoption, and strengthen the industry's global presence.
