July 12, 20 16 The press conference of the World Robotics Congress was held in China Science and Technology Hall. Sui Zhenjiang, deputy mayor of Beijing Municipal People's Government, member of the Party Group of China Association for Science and Technology, director of the academic department of the association, deputy director of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, deputy secretary-general of Beijing Municipal People's Government Liu Yinchun, director of Beijing Economic and Information Technology Commission Zhang, secretary-general of the 20 16 World Robotics Congress, vice chairman and secretary-general of China Electronics Society and deputy director of the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee Sheng Licheng attended the press conference. The meeting was presided over by Liu Yinchun, Deputy Secretary General of Beijing Municipal People's Government.
It is reported that the 20 16 World Robotics Congress was hosted by the Beijing Municipal People's Government, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the China Association for Science and Technology, and was undertaken by the China Institute of Electronics and the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee. It will be held in Beijing Yichuang International Convention and Exhibition Center from 2016102/KLOC-0 to 25. This is the second time that China has hosted the International Robotics Congress after successfully hosting the World Robotics Congress last year.
At the meeting, Sui Zhenjiang and Song Jun spoke separately, and Xu Xiaolan introduced the overall preparation progress of the conference. It is understood that the 20 16 World Robotics Congress is divided into three sections: Forum, Expo and robot contest. Among them, the forum will invite famous experts and entrepreneurs from China, Germany, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries to conduct high-level academic exchanges and discussions on frontier scientific research of robots, technological development routes and strategic policy formulation. More than 200 experts from home and abroad will attend the forum, including Joe Gemma, President of the International Federation of Robotics, Usama khatib, President of the International Robotics Research Foundation, Taminasford, President of the German Robotics Society, AtsuoTakanishi, President of the Israeli Robotics Society, Zwyssig Le, and Zhang Dan, President of the Canadian Robotics and Automation Research Association. In addition, during the conference, there were nearly 20 special forums in robot-related fields such as artificial intelligence, medical robots, driverless smart cars and drones.
The indoor and outdoor exhibition area of the 20 16 World Robotics Congress Expo is 40,000 square meters. There will be an industrial robot exhibition area, a service robot exhibition area, a special robot exhibition area and a VR exhibition area to showcase the latest scientific research achievements, application products and solutions in the world robotics field. At that time, Song Xin, Harbin Institute of Technology Robot Group, Xinshida, American IROBOT, Epson, Coma, Foxconn, Icub Robot, Pepper Robot, Robotics ThorMang2 Robot, Teotronico Piano Robot and other well-known enterprises and advanced products at home and abroad will make a shocking appearance.
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned driving technology have become hot and difficult points in the global science and technology field. Many well-known enterprises and institutions in the world have raised the research and development and breakthrough of this technology to the height that determines the future global strategic layout and status. 20 16 World robot contest fully focuses on these cutting-edge technical fields, including unmanned driving challenge, Robot Star Competition, International Underwater robot contest, Robot Police Challenge, UAV Flight Limit Challenge and many other robot events with high technology content, wide discipline span, wide participation and strong exhibition. The contest not only fully demonstrated the latest and cutting-edge intelligent high-tech research achievements and applications in the world, but also integrated academic exchanges and discussions to fight against entertainment and competitions and popularize popular science. It will surely become a highly anticipated part of the 20 16 World Robotics Congress.
At the end of the conference, the 65,438+000-day countdown launching ceremony of the 2065,438+06 World Robotics Conference was held, and the leaders of the conference jointly unveiled the countdown board, which marked that all preparations for the conference entered a comprehensive sprint stage.
Since the preparations for the 20 16 World Robotics Congress started, it has received positive responses from many internationally renowned organizations, enterprises and famous scholars. Research institutions include IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE RAS), American Robotics Industry Association (RIA), Italian Robotics and Automation Association (SIRI), Israeli Robotics Association (IROB), International Federation for the Advancement of Mechanical Science (IFTOMM), Korean Robotics Association (KAR), Korean Robotics Society (KROS), International Robotics Research Foundation (IFRR) and German Robotics Society (DGR).
At present, people from all walks of life are enthusiastic about participating in the 20 16 World Robotics Congress. I believe that with the continuous advancement of the work of the congress, more experts and scholars, the public, enterprises and scientific research institutions will pay attention to and participate. 20 16 World Robotics Congress will strive to become a high-level platform for international cooperation and collaborative innovation in the field of robotics, provide a high-end frontier academic exchange stage for experts and scholars in the field of robotics, build a win-win industrial development bridge for robot enterprises, create a development space for entrepreneurial innovators to display their talents, provide a boost engine for young people's creative hobbies, provide a broad scientific and technological world for popular science work in the whole society, and provide decision-making reference for China to promote the implementation of the strategy of building an innovative country and building a world-class science and technology power.
