On May 21st, at the "Intelligent Driving and Embodied Intelligence" forum of the "Global Spatio Temporal Intelligence Expo" (WGDC2026), Ma Chenghui, founder and chairman of Yiren Technology, gave a keynote speech titled "Same Source and Common Flow, Embodied Awakening: From Intelligent Driving Business Loop to Embodied Data Ecology".
According to his observation, the entire embodied industry is very similar to the early days of intelligent driving in 2007 and 2008, when "there were disputes among various players and there was no unified standard for data. During that time, the biggest feeling in the intelligent driving industry was that each (customer) required different formats and data, resulting in many model companies. At our peak, we served dozens of intelligent driving model companies
In the current field of embodied intelligence, Ma Chenghui said, "In the process of providing data to enterprises, most of the data fields are still real machine data, but the quality is good and the value is high, but the cost is high and the output rate is low, so it is difficult to build on a large scale
Therefore, the current mainstream data format in the industry is "human centered data", namely Ego data, which can solve the 1V1 problem on real machine data, is scalable, multimodal, and relatively low-cost. In addition, there are simulation data/synthetic data, Internet data and other forms.
