Mifeng Technology Launches 'Mifeng Pai' Embodied Data Crowdsourcing Platform, Mass-Produces 20,000 Collection Devices

On September 23, 2026, "Mifengpai," built by Mifeng Technology, made its debut, positioned as a three-in-one embodied intelligence data crowdsourcing service platform of "hardware + App + data engine." Mifeng claims this is "the world's first full-category high-quality physical AI data crowdsourcing service platform," but this "world's first" positioning lacks third-party verification and should be regarded as Mifeng's unilateral claim.

Mifengpai and Figure's Index are often compared together, but the two differ significantly in business model. Index is used by Figure for training its own models, belonging to "self-production and self-use"; Mifengpai, by contrast, faces various data procurement customers, organizes production according to customer needs, and delivers externally after processing. This difference determines that Mifengpai must handle more complex scenarios, tasks, data modalities, and quality standards, while Index only needs to serve Figure's own model training needs.

The shared judgment of both companies is: the data bottleneck of embodied intelligence cannot be solved by piling up dedicated collectors; the path of "everyone can become a robot trainer" must be made to work. Mifeng believes that the current centralized and semi-centralized data production methods cannot meet growing data demands and are relatively costly, so the industry must gradually move toward socialized collection.

Mifeng's self-developed MEgo series of body-free collection terminals includes two products: MEgo View and MEgo Gripper. MEgo View uses a head-mounted panoramic camera plus a wrist close-up camera, with the head perspective recording the surrounding environment and the wrist perspective supplementing operational details; MEgo Gripper is a UMI collection gripper that is lightweight and comes standard with three-dimensional touch sensing.

As of now, Mifeng has rolled out 20,000 MEgo devices and claims this is the industry's first time such devices have been mass-produced at scale. Mifeng Chairman and CEO Yao Maoqing revealed that MEgo devices now have production capacity of tens of thousands of units per month. This means the company can rapidly increase its device inventory.

These 20,000 MEgo devices have entered real scenarios and accumulated a million hours of valid data. Mifeng claims to be the industry's first data service provider with million-hour-level body-free data available for external sale; this "industry first" claim is self-stated and lacks third-party verification.

All this data comes from real collection in open environments, covering 22 major scenario categories, with collection forms including bare hands, wrist-worn, and grippers, and data modalities covering color images, depth, inertial measurement, touch, and audio. From device volume and production capacity to data coverage, Mifeng attempts to prove that large-scale collection has been achieved, but the above data are all disclosed unilaterally by Mifeng, with no independent audit or third-party verification.
