According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, there is a significant price disparity in the embodied intelligence data collection industry. For the same 1-hour period, the listed price for high-quality real machine data can reach 300 to 1000 yuan, while the hourly wage for end collection workers is as low as 8 yuan, with some original data transactions even dropping to 3 to 5 yuan per hour.The investigation found that the price difference mainly stems from multi-level subcontracting and the resale of data copies. A hundred-yuan order from the client, after being passed through five or six intermediaries, leaves the grassroots collectors with only about 15 yuan. The baseline remuneration for county-level projects is around 30 yuan/hour; falling below this standard poses compliance or source risks. Additionally, the resale of non-original data three to five times is "very common" in the industry, with some teams monetizing the same material through private copies or additional equipment for simultaneous recording.The report points out that while the industry loudly claims that high-quality data is scarce, data collection service providers are valued at tens of billions; on the other hand, low-priced copies are rampant, and data traceability has failed. Some intermediaries gain pricing power through order control, with domestic data producers averaging a gross profit of about 20% to 30%.
