On the afternoon of July 16, the Anhui Province General Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Development Conference and the National General Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Application Competition (CCF TEC Special Competition) launching ceremony were successfully held in Hefei.

Event site

The theme of this conference is "Intelligent Fusion Leading the Future - Building a New Era of General Artificial Intelligence". It aims to seize the historical opportunity of the accelerated development of general artificial intelligence, occupy the commanding heights of general artificial intelligence development, highlight "double recruitment and double introduction", scenario application, brand building, and publicity, and fully rely on the platform advantages of the AI ​​Hundred People's Forum to gather high-end talents in academia and industry, and accelerate the construction of our province's artificial intelligence industry innovation and development ecological system.

The event included speeches by digital humans, a video review and awards ceremony of the 2023 competition, the launch of the 2024 competition, the promotion of the School of Artificial Intelligence of USTC and the signing of industry-university-research projects, important releases, and a scenario capability roadshow.

Project signing process

During the project signing session, the School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science of USTC and Shanghai Embodied Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement on the development of a general intelligent robot system driven by embodied intelligence. "The project is aimed at the service robot industry, enhancing the robot's mobile grasping ability from the three aspects of cognition, perception, and planning. It uses large models to understand scenes and user dialogues, generate and optimize action sequences, and adopts active perception and 3D environment reconstruction to achieve intelligent grasping of objects in dynamic open environments." Wang Lei, marketing director of Shanghai Embodied Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., told reporters that the two parties will focus on the innovation and development of embodied intelligent robot technology to build a collaborative innovation platform, and work closely in the three aspects of technology research, talent training, and achievement transformation to promote the industrialization of technologies such as intelligent unmanned systems.
