In China, raw monocular robot video with a known source trades at 15 to 20 yuan an hour while data of unknown origin, resold again and again, goes for 3 to 5 yuan (Caijing, October 2026); the same market quotes organised real-robot teleoperation at 500 to 1,000 yuan an hour (Xinhua Finance, September 2026).
