Prof. Li believes that in the era of digitalization and intelligence, a large number of problems in enterprises are uncertain and in non-fixed models. If enterprises want to further solve these problems, they need to have the consciousness of innovation and go beyond fixed models and problems.


Prof. Xinyu Shao, Fellow of Chinese Academy of Engineering

Prof. Xinyu Shao, Fellow of Chinese Academy of Engineering, mainly explained the independent research and development trend of high-end equipment for high-power laser processing. He said that in recent years, he led the industry-academia-research-application research team, realized independent innovation research and development and engineering application of key processes and technologies, complete sets of equipment and core components in high-end equipment in the fields of automotive and marine engineering. He believes that if enterprises focus on promoting intelligent manufacturing and deeply focused on industrial application scenarios through continuous independent innovation, they can also achieve remarkable results.


Prof. Bo Tao of the School of Mechanics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Prof. Bo Tao of the School of Mechanics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology introduced the robotics technology from intelligent robots to integrated robots. He said due to the characteristics of flexibility, high efficiency, easy reconfiguration, and easy fusion with all kinds of sensors, robot technology is now changing and transforming the fabrication of large, complex components with high precision and high efficiency. It is now mainly used in sectors of A&D, marine, energy, and transportation to promote the core competitiveness.
