Lab tour and discussion
During the visit, the TASLAB team introduced the laboratory’s research progress in trustworthy artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, intelligent perception, navigation and robotic technologies. The delegation toured the laboratory and learned about its unmanned aerial vehicles, quadruped robots, autonomous vehicles and other experimental platforms, as well as their potential applications in complex-environment perception, autonomous decision-making, multi-platform collaboration and intelligent equipment.
The delegation visits TASLAB, discusses technology transfer and potential project collaboration with the team, and meets laboratory members at the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering.
In the discussion that followed, both sides exchanged views on the industrial development needs of Zhuhai High-tech Zone, the commercialization of research outcomes and possible pathways for implementing collaborative projects. They highlighted opportunities to combine TASLAB’s research and innovation capabilities with Zhuhai High-tech Zone’s industrial foundation, policy support and investment resources, with the aim of promoting practical applications of intelligent autonomous systems.
The visit strengthened mutual understanding and laid a solid foundation for further collaboration in intelligent autonomous systems, the low-altitude economy, robotics and related fields.
