"The main feature here is' artificial intelligence growing vegetables', every day out of lettuce, milk cabbage, amaranth and other hydroponic vegetables about 500 kilograms, sent to Beijing, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Anhui and other places." Said Zhu Ziqiang, director of smart agriculture division of Lanjian Intelligent Technology Co., LTD.

In accordance with the requirements of the General Secretary, we grasp the opportunity of rapid development of artificial intelligence, and when the time is ripe in 2023, we have selected more than 200 technicians to carry out technical research and built this new intelligent plant factory." Zhu Ziqiang introduced.

In the vegetable shed of more than 500 square meters, six rows of closely arranged planters are 14 meters high. Each layer of planting board is equipped with 6 columns of LED fill light, which can accurately fill light for vegetables through big data calculation.

"There are even cooler operations." Zhu Ziqiang said while demonstrating that rows of seedling planting boards were transferred from the planting area to the sorting area through the conveyor belt, and the artificial intelligence platform running in the background analyzed and recognized the image in real time. When the yellow leaves were found on the young plant, the robot would quickly and accurately locate and remove them, and the machine automatically screened and classified the seedlings with a precision of 98%.

Zhu Ziqiang said that at present, enterprises have applied artificial intelligence technology to sowing, planting, harvesting, cleaning and other processes, and agricultural production efficiency and resource utilization efficiency have been greatly improved.

In the field greenhouses, intelligent planting and agricultural robots greatly improve the efficiency and level of agricultural planting; On the automobile production line, the painting arm is operated accurately according to the "process specification"; In the shopping mall, intelligent navigation guide and other services have been launched... Artificial intelligence is gradually penetrating into many traditional industries, promoting the transformation and upgrading of production processes, management models, and product innovation, and injecting "wisdom" vitality into traditional industries. At the same time, the reporter is also deeply aware that the iteration and upgrading of technology puts forward higher requirements for the interdisciplinary ability of technology operators - "people", and there is an urgent need for compound talents who understand technology and are familiar with industry knowledge, and promote artificial intelligence to help traditional industries move towards high-quality development.

  Smart 'brains' for satellites

Satellite industry as one of the representatives of strategic emerging industries, when it and artificial intelligence technology "collision", and will wipe out what kind of high-tech "sparks"?

The "Jilin-1" satellite constellation travels in space, transmitting the "insight" information to the "brain" - the ground receiving station of Changguang Satellite Technology Co., LTD., located in Changchun City.

Ma D «Ÿ¹, marketing manager of Changguang Satellite, said that the Jilin-1 constellation operated by the company has 117 remote sensing satellites in orbit, and the data generated is widely used in agriculture and forestry production, environmental monitoring, smart cities and so on With the increase of satellite data scale, the traditional manual remote sensing information processing method has been difficult to adapt to the rapid interpretation of massive remote sensing data.

"We want the 'brains' of satellites to become' smarter 'and be able to process data faster and more accurately." The horse 𫟠How can this be achieved? The new technology of "artificial intelligence + remote sensing" has attracted the attention of technicians.

Invite artificial intelligence experts to teach, study the frontier papers of artificial intelligence remote sensing technology, after more than a year, the company successfully developed a large model of artificial intelligence remote sensing that fits the "Jilin No. 1" constellation.

Ma𫠟¹ Taking crop loss assessment as an example, after remote sensing satellites take pictures of crops, it used to be necessary for staff to complete a large number of operations such as ground object segmentation by themselves, but now artificial intelligence can quickly replace manual work and complete cultivated land identification in a short time, with great work efficiency

In the future, we will continue to improve the large model of artificial intelligence remote sensing, so that this strategic technology can play a greater role in the space field!"

  【 Reporter observation 】

Many new applications and new integration show that artificial intelligence technology with strong data processing capabilities, intelligent decision support and digital platform advantages, to help emerging industries "straight ahead" and "corner overtaking", become an important starting point to shape the new advantages of strategic emerging industries. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, more business opportunities and development space will emerge in emerging industries, and new industries and models such as autonomous driving, intelligent medical care, drug research and development, and gene editing will grow rapidly, constantly creating new economic growth points.

  The humanoid robots are beginning to grow

"Hello! Welcome to Little Q Cafe. What can I get you?"

After a humanoid robot named Little Q confirms the customer's needs, another "barista" robot is busy in the background. After just a few minutes, a cup of delicious coffee was served.

The two "waiters" are members of the Q series of genealogical humanoid robots developed by the humanoid robot research team of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"There are many more 'partners', including the bionic highly dynamic robot Q1, which can achieve accurate tracking and balance control of the robot's whole body posture; the multi-terrain adaptive robot Q2, which can achieve adaptive and stable movement of various complex terrain-indoor and outdoor terrain; and the high-explosive motion robot Q3, which has different environmental adaptability." Said Qiao Hong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the National Key Laboratory of Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Systems of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Humanoid robot is an integrated embodiment of artificial intelligence technology, and it is one of the important tracks of the future industry.

This makes the Qiao Hong team engaged in robot application research more clear research and development focus. Mechanical structure design, motion control algorithm development, software and system integration... Combined with years of technology accumulation, the team went through five tests and broke through core technologies such as high-burst integrated joints, AI empowered design, robot model, and humanoid compliant control to create Q series humanoid robots.

But the team wasn't satisfied. To let "smart" humanoid robots serve the people's livelihood is the original intention, but also the driving force for continuous upward breakthrough.

"I am designing a disaster relief robot that can climb slopes, move fast, have strong endurance, resist high temperatures, resist impact..." In the laboratory, Qiao Hong constantly adjusted the design scheme. It is her wish to put this humanoid robot, which is designed for complex and dangerous environments, into use as soon as possible.

With the unremitting efforts of many domestic scientific research workers, more humanoid robots will gradually enter factories, schools, shopping malls, families, pension centers, etc., and become a member of your life.
