Sun Youxian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of the School of Control of Zhejiang University, introduced in his academic report that China’s building materials industry, there are more than two thousand large-scale production lines of light cement, and the task is difficult to complete the relevant goals within three years. His report at the conference, “High-end large-scale programmable automation systems for wide-area collaboration”, is expected to be put into practice in the landing process of these action plans to provide system solutions.

MDD115A-N-030-N2M-180GA1 The conference venue, the hot topics are wonderful. Thirteen special forums, including “unmanned systems”, “robots and intelligent systems”, “Intelligent manufacturing”, “intelligent computing and machine learning”, “information physical systems”, “Control theory and system science”, “Network and big data”, “sensors and intelligent instruments”, “blockchain” and “smart cities”, triggered a collision of ideas. On the basis of the traditional offline conference, the innovative online organization of “Intelligent navigation and control system”, “Large-scale power grid regulation Man-machine hybrid Enhanced intelligence Theory seminar”, “Automation Outstanding Young Scholars Forum”, “Security and Search and rescue robots”, “Chasing dreams: Fifteen satellite conferences, including “Intelligent Autonomous Control of spacecraft”, “Information Physical Security of Industrial Control System under New Infrastructure”, “Computational Neuroscience and intelligent computing applications”, “Challenges and Countermeasures of automated education caused by the global epidemic”, “Asking Science for Answers and Methods – Artificial Intelligence Technology in Tackling the Novel Coronavirus epidemic”, attracted more than 10,000 visitors to communicate and discuss online.

MDD115A-N-030-N2M-180GA1 Tongji University is the organizer of the conference, the school Party secretary Fang Shouen said that at present, with the emergence of new theories such as mobile Internet, big data, supercomputers, sensor networks, brain science and autonomous intelligent unmanned systems and the development of new technologies, “autonomous intelligent creating the future” or will become an important engine in the field of automation, information and intelligent science and technology. The discipline of automation has always been one of the traditional advantages of Tongji University. At present, Tongji University is actively committed to improving the connotation of traditional disciplines including automation through the empowerment of artificial intelligence and information technology, and encouraging the cross-integration of multiple disciplines.

The discipline of control science and engineering in Tongji University has a history of more than 100 years, which has cultivated a large number of high-level elite talents and produced many high-level scientific research achievements. Artificial intelligence is the key research direction of control discipline. In recent years, Tongji University has vigorously promoted the construction and development of artificial intelligence. In December 2018, the Shanghai Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned System Science Center, built by Tongji University, was inaugurated.

MDD115A-N-030-N2M-180GA1 Chen Jie, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Tongji University, said that since the establishment of automation, its influence has crossed disciplinary boundaries, and as the crystallization of modern science and modern industry, it has become an important driving force for the progress of human civilization and the modernization of science and technology. At present, the automation discipline is promoting a profound change of The Times, providing strong support for the construction of China’s science and technology power, space power, network power, and transportation power.

Relying on the Shanghai Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned System Science Center built by Tongji University, in response to the major scientific needs of the development of artificial intelligence and the major strategic needs of the country, basic theoretical research and scientific and technological research are carried out to promote the development and reform of smart city, intelligent transportation, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent medical and other related industries.

In addition, Tongji University also takes the lead in building the “intelligent Science and Technology” peak discipline in the country, and is committed to cultivating outstanding young talents with basic research and cross-application capabilities of artificial intelligence. After the first batch of 118 doctoral students in the direction of artificial intelligence were jointly trained in more than ten colleges of Tongji University, 170 doctoral students in the direction of artificial intelligence were welcomed this autumn semester.
