Virtuals Protocol launches Eastworlds to collect robotics data for its $VIRTUAL token AI economy.

Virtuals Protocol has launched Eastworlds, a robotics data lab that deploys humanoid robots in real environments to generate training data for AI. This initiative supports robotics teams with hardware and operational resources, capturing over 200 hours of teleoperation data weekly. The data collected fuels a tokenized AI economy centered on the $VIRTUAL token, aiming to improve autonomous robot policies and expand use cases in logistics, manufacturing, and services. The success of Eastworlds depends on accelerating this data cycle and competing with major robotics firms pursuing proprietary data strategies.
