As the Lingang New Area at the forefront of reform and opening up, smart technology has already entered the front door of thousands of households from the assembly line, whether it is a driverless car on the road, or a robot that delivers food in place of human service in a restaurant, or the smart interaction of garbage classification in the community. Unwittingly, the city is incorporating more and more “tech alliances” on its journey to the future.
The school run by driverless cars in the future
At 8:45am , the remote driverless shuttles made by Shanghai Co–DriverIntelligence Tech. Co., Ltd. came in Chuangjing Technology Centre one after the other. Cool shape, no steering wheel, no accelerator, and no braking system. Only one safety officer takes corresponding driving actions when encountering different road conditions such as turns, slopes, road obstacles, etc., so as to achieve safe driving.
The door opens, and the staff alternates between getting on and off the car. As long as you make an appointment via the mini programme and board the shuttle within the set time, you can arrive at the destination safely with no worries. This kind of life has become norm for people who work at Chuangjing Technology Centre
On the 18th floor of Chuangjing Technology Centre, adjacent to the Donghai Bridge, with a wide view, the model console developed by Shanghai Co–Driver Intelligence Tech. Co., Ltd. for remote autonomous driving and human takeover is set here. Electronic display screens, operating handles, seats, and cool equipment are very similar to the virtual game equipment we usually see. In the unmanned world combining virtual and real, this AI smart brain remotely controls the operation instructions of ground unmanned vehicles.
On the 7th floor of Chuangjing Technology Centre, the actual console is set here. This remote autonomous driving system, with the rich Chinese-style road resource library, AI rapid scene generation technology, and semi-automatic scene generation technology, realises real-time communication between the physical vehicle and the digital twin vehicle, and uses real-time high-precision positioning information to achieve real-time mapping of the target vehicle and its digital twin vehicle, the remote target vehicle is controlled through the decision result of the autonomous driving algorithm of the digital twin vehicle in the server, so as to realise the remote autonomous driving of the multi-target vehicle.
In the future, the AI smart brain will not only realise smart travel in the park, but also the passage of unmanned driving technology on the open roads in the new area. “From a technical point of view, there is no problem at all, and in the later stage, breakthroughs will be mainly made in policy.”
In Shanghai Co-Driver Intelligence Tech. Co., Ltd’s plan, the role of the “safety officer” in the car will be gradually removed, in order to make unmanned driving generate greater commercial value. In addition, driverless vehicles will play a greater role in the Lingang New Area in the future due to their comfortable environment, good privacy, strong sense of interior space, and high convenience.
At the same time,Shanghai Co-Driver also hopes that in the future, driverless technology can solve the problems of parents picking their children to and from school, “In the future, it can be used to pick up children. We can achieve unified planning, unified formation, and elderly people who cannot drive can just bring their grandchildren to the car, and solve the traffic chaos caused by centralised pick-up and drop-off at the school gate. “
The robot delivers food to you
In the Lingang New Area, with the widespread application of intelligent technology in people’s livelihood, some commercial buildings, large business circles and resort hotels also appear busy figures of robots during certain time periods.
This is a business hotel in Lingang. During the meal times The food delivered to the hotel reception by the takeaway business needs the robot’s assistance for sending food to the guest room. In addition, services such as the room’s key card upgrade, medicine, mineral water, and things that guests need, with a phone call to the front desk, are all executed by the robot. This has given the hotel staff more convenience.
In another resort hotel in Lingang New Area, the robot is receiving the instruction to replace the door card, turning on and off the elevator, conveying floor information, arriving at the door of the guest, making a phone call, waiting to receive… The whole process of contactless service is very helpful especially in the current pandemic situation
According to a staff member of a Cantonese restaurant, as early as 2009, the robots had already started to serve. As a dish delivery helper, it can deal with two people’s workload
Smart waste sorting
Automatic identification, real-time monitoring, data analysis… As early as June 2020, the smart waste sorting and trading machine in Lingang New Area was officially put into use.
The smart trading machine put into use not only has the functions of QR code scanning identification, garbage classification knowledge query, real-time monitoring of garbage classification equipment and garbage classification data analysis, etc. It also has the functions of traditional scanning code delivery device, outdoor waterproof surveillance camera, full load warning, anti-theft, positioning, points/cash exchange, etc.
For more than a year, this smart technology for garbage sorting has been integrated into the daily life of Lingang people. In the Weilan Linyu Community, three smart machines have been set up. Every day from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning and from 18:00 to 20:00 in the evening, residents of the community can sort and put garbage here. Young people accept such smart technology products faster, but after more than a year of popularization, the older people can also be well adapted to the use of waste sorting and trading.
Because of the built-in compression device, the efficiency of recycling and transportation has become higher. Through garbage classification, dry and wet separation, recyclable and harmful garbage are directly separated, and initial separation screening is done for subsequent processing work, saving manpower and resources.
Smart trading machines not only cultivate residents’ awareness of garbage sorting, but also make residents realize that garbage is a misplaced resource that can be recycled and reused. It will be easier to accept, choose sustainable items, reduce the use of disposable items, residents will save more and cherish things, and reduce the generation of garbage.
