Ordos launches embodied AI academy to train robotics talent

Ordos city in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region has launched an industrial academy with Unitree Robotics to train talent in embodied AI and robotics.

The Unitree Robotics Industrial Academy was inaugurated at Ordos Vocational College of Eco-Environment on Sept 12, becoming Inner Mongolia's only Unitree Robotics-affiliated industrial academy.

Focusing on embodied AI, robotics applications, and intelligent manufacturing, the academy will train students to apply robotic technologies to high-intensity, high-risk, and repetitive tasks in Ordos.

It will introduce real-world technical challenges and project orders from local energy, chemical, and power companies into courses, practical training, and competitions, giving students hands-on experience with industry projects.

Unitree Robotics will provide training equipment, course resources, and engineering instructors, and participate in curriculum development and practical teaching.

The academy will also develop application cases for chemical inspection, power equipment maintenance, and industrial and mining monitoring.
