Shenzhen-based Chaowei Power Intelligent Technology (超维动力) has announced a deep collaboration with Peking University Healthcare Management (北大医疗) to deploy embodied AI in medical settings. The partnership focuses on data collection, world model development, and simulation training, aiming to create a replicable path from "simulation training" to "scenario validation" to "hospital application."
For embodied AI to truly enter hospitals, it must first understand the environment and medical workflows. The biggest bottleneck is the lack of realistic training environments and expert guidance. Chaowei Power brings a full-stack embodied AI large model platform, including the KAI World Model engine, KAI Halo first-person data collection headset, and a medical digital asset library. Peking University Healthcare provides real clinical scenarios and professional medical expertise.
The first step is simulation: Chaowei uses its KAI World Model to recreate hospital rooms and operating theaters in virtual space, allowing robots to iterate safely. The KAI Halo headset records real medical procedures, which are then processed into high-quality multimodal training data, effectively creating digital mentors.
Next is training: Chaowei builds a medical digital asset library with real drug and instrument images, enabling interactive simulation. Developers can combine assets to create diverse training scenarios without physical consumables. Robots undergo large-scale operational learning, accumulating experience through repeated practice.
The final step is validation and application: All capabilities must pass rigorous testing in simulated hospital environments before real-world deployment. Priority tasks include tube sorting, drug delivery, and bed transfer—critical yet low-risk starting points for embodied AI in healthcare.
This pragmatic approach emphasizes safety over speed. Chaowei and Peking University Healthcare are committed to a steady, verifiable path, ensuring every capability is proven before entering clinical settings. The partnership aims to provide a reliable technology engine for smart hospitals and high-quality medical services.
