“Made in Chengdu” Attracts Global Attention 精彩成果 “成都造”引来全球关注

VR glasses, 3D blood vessel bio-printer and dancing robot ... The 2016 China (Chengdu) Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fair held on June 24-26 showcased lots of cutting-edge made-in-Chengdu products, which are all from latest hi-tech innovations made by local companies in the city.

Since the Venture Tianfu Program was launched in the city in 2015, Chengdu has been attracting increasing global attention with its outstanding achievements in such hi-tech industries as biomedicine and artificial intelligence in education.

3D Blood Vessel Bio-printer Making Production of Personalized Functional Organs Possible.

A vintage-like black printer can print out a 10cm-long blood vessel in 2 minutes via compact, exquisitely structured dual rotating nozzles.

The humble device is actually a 3D blood vessel bio-printer. “Different from traditional inkjet printers, this one uses living body cells as ink,” said Professor Kang Yujian. He explained that the 3D bio-printing technology is based on the theory of embryonic development and an independently developed cloud computing platform, by which different organs are produced with the same cells in different confined space.

The 3D blood vessel bio-printer was unveiled in Oct. 2015, marking the maturity of the 3D personalized stem cell bio-printing technology.

You can fly in the space and dive in deep sea wearing a special helmet. Blessed with advantages of electronic information hardware and software, Chengdu has already had over 30 virtual reality companies, among which around 20 are located in the Hi-tech Zone.

Making full use of its strengths in computer graphics/simulation technology, multimedia technology, game development, video transmission, and processing technology, etc., Chengdu gives strong supports for the development of VR content products, including games, videos, images and apps.

In addition, depending on its advantages in chip design and manufacturing, 3D-display, sensing technology, and hardware OEM, etc., the city vigorously promotes the development of virtual devices and builds a complete VR industrial chain involving chips, display components, hardware devices and content production.

Siemens decided to set up its first digital factory outside Germany in Chengdu in 2013.

With highly digitalized design and production procedures, the Siemens Industry Automation Products Manufacturing and Development Base in Chengdu (SEWC) had realized its design capacity at the end of 2015.

The Chengdu industrial cloud platform can now offer services and more than 30 enterprise-oriented cloud applications to over 100 SMEs in the city.

A Made-in-Chengdu robot will take part in the National College Entrance Examination next year. It is actually an artificial intelligence system designed by a company in Chengdu.

The system incorporated with such cutting-edge technologies involving artificial intelligence, image recognition, machine learning, natural language processing and understanding, big data, and public cloud, etc.

In the near future, after accumulating enough data, the system will be able to offer personalized advice according to the students’ data through evaluating line by line. Taking its advantages in computer graphics/simulation technology and multimedia technology, Chengdu will further promote the mass commercial application of artificial intelligence in the fields of intellectual products and industrial manufacturing, etc.

精彩成果 “成都造”引来全球关注  

2016中国成都全球创新创业交易会上展出的工业机器人

Industrial robot at 2016 China (Chengdu) Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fair       

6月25日，新会展展厅内，VR眼镜受小朋友们追捧，3D打印生物血管让大人们目瞪口呆，还有会跳江南style的机器人high翻展厅……2016年中国·成都全球创新创业交易会上，一批批“成都造”创新创业成果纷纷展出。

这只是成都作为一座“创新之城”，“双创”元年以来，创新创业方面成果展示的一组精彩镜头。2015年，启动“创业天府”行动计划的成都，以创新创业为轴，驱动经济发展新引擎，创新创业星火已成燎原之势，涌现出一批批精彩的科技成果——

3D打印生物血管在成都成功问世，让器官再造成为可能；西门子决定在成都布局德国之外的首个数字化工厂，刷新了“成都制造”工业4.0时代的高度；“成都造机器人将参加明年高考”的消息，一度刷爆了市民和科技爱好者的朋友圈……

启动“创业天府”行动计划以来，成都在生物医药产业、人工智能教育等高新技术产业领域，表现出色，吸引了全球的目光；在工业制造4.0和虚拟现实（VR）等热点潮流方面，也进行积极布局，抢先进入发展快车道。

3D打印生物血管成功问世，器官再造成为可能。一台看似古董的黑色打印机，利用结构小巧、配合精准的双喷头，在特制的空间旋转杆上，两分钟之内就能打印出10厘米的血管。

这台并不起眼的黑色打印机，事实上是3D生物血管打印机。3D生物血管打印机背后有何奥秘？“区别于传统打印机用墨汁打印成物体，3D生物打印是用活体细胞来做‘墨汁’。”一手主导3D生物打印研究的康裕建教授打了一个小小的比喻。他解释，3D生物打印，就是根据胚胎发育过程的原理，利用独创的云计算平台，将同一个细胞，限定不同的环境，产生不同的器官。

2015年10月，3D生物血管打印机的成功问世，突破性意义在于，利用干细胞为核心的3D生物打印技术体系已经完备，标志着人工制造个性化功能器官成为可能。成都生物医药产业的创举吸引了全球目光。

借助一个头盔设备，就可以“翱翔”于神秘的太空，“潜入”二万五千里的海底，“面对”大洋彼岸的亲友。依托电子信息领域软硬件优势，目前，成都已聚集虚拟现实相关企业30余家，其中仅成都高新区就有20余家。

成都发挥企业在计算机图形/仿真技术、多媒体技术、游戏开发、视频传输和处理技术等方面的优势，积极支持发展基于虚拟现实的游戏、视频、图片以及软件应用等内容产品，着力打造国内领先的虚拟现实内容输出高地。

同时，充分利用在芯片设计与制造、3D显示、传感器、硬件代工等方面的坚实基础，推动有实力的企业开发虚拟设备、聚集相关资源，争取在成都形成“芯片—显示组件—硬件设备—内容提供”的VR完整产业链。

2013年，西门子决定在德国之外布局首个数字化工厂，“百里挑一”地将这个直指工业4.0时代的数字化工厂落定成都。“成都制造”工业4.0时代的高度再一次被重新定义。

这个被称为SEWC的“数字化工厂”，全称为西门子工业自动化产品成都生产研发基地，工厂从产品设计到制造过程高度数字化，于2015年底达到设计产能。目前，年产人机界面、工业电脑等工业自动化产品超过200万件。

工业4.0时代，需要信息化和工业化的深度融合，需要“互联网+工业”真正变成转型升级的动力和效益。目前，成都工业云平台已完成2000平方米国家A级机房建设，平台服务界面开发，三线运营商线路接入，部署2000台虚拟机、800TB存储，并部署CAE、资产管理、OA等30多个面向企业的云应用，已为成都市100多家中小企业提供服务。

“成都造”机器人将参加明年高考，这名“机器人”，实际上是成都准星云学科技公司设计的一套人工智能系统。

就像“阿尔法狗”会下围棋一样，这位机器人可以判卷和解题。集成了多项前沿技术，包括人工智能、图像识别、自然语言处理与理解、机器学习、大数据技术、公有云技术等，这套系统可以利用智能笔，采集学生书写的原始笔迹，对笔迹进行自动识别；利用构建的知识库，及时对学生答案正误、错误知识点、错误原因进行智能判定，将前后答题步骤进行逻辑推理证明，实现一题多解下的判定和评测，甚至是对初等数学主客观题的自动评测。

手写识别技术和人工智能技术的突破，是运用平台进行评测的重要前提。准星云学创始人林辉说，公司去年已申请40余项发明专利，其中有10余项处于国际领先水平。近期将申请百余项专利，其中不乏全球首创。据了解，现在准星云学在实际场景中的手写公式识别率已经超过世界排名第一的法国VO公司，目前已有十几种语言的识别技术储备。

不久的将来，该系统在积累了足够的数据量后，将能够根据逐行评测的学生数据，给出学科和个性化建议。还将在基于数据和计算的金融、医疗、应对气候变化等方面进行广泛应用。成都将发挥区域在计算机图形/仿真技术、多媒体技术等方面的优势，进一步推动人工智能在智能产品、工业制造等领域规模商用，为产业智能化升级夯实基础。
