The 2024 GTC Conference, which gathered thousands of innovators, researchers, creators, opinion leaders and decision makers, was held on March 18 in San Jose, USA. As an NVIDIA solution advisor and representative of the automotive industry, IAT was invited to attend the event to share ideas, discuss innovation strategies, and explore how accelerated computing and AI are changing the way we work and live today. 

The conference released breakthrough results in the fields of accelerated computing, generative AI and robotics, and discussed the changes brought by AIGC to the robotics industry in a deep and multi-dimensional way. The peers reckon that the historical opportunity of "the explosion of the global robotics industry" has come. 

The automobile itself is an intelligent "mobile robot", in this first year of robotics, IAT officially announced the establishment of AI Robotics Division, which is engaged in the cutting-edge R&D and innovation in robotics industry, such as robot design and service, OEM production, and the application of AI-programmed scenarios, etc. The company is committed to combining the rich hardware and software technologies and supply chain capabilities accumulated in the field of automotive design and development. 

IAT is devoted to combining its rich software and hardware technologies and supply chain capabilities accumulated in the field of automotive design and development with the latest AI technologies such as AIGC, to create an open collaborative innovation platform, and to collaborate with leading enterprises in various industries at home and abroad to empower and support the innovative development and application of AI robots.

The integration of AIGC with robots can realize more advanced robot systems. First, generative AI can be used for robot training and programming, significantly reducing the cost of scene programming for robots; second. It can provide robots with more advanced perception, recognition, and decision-making capabilities, thus enabling robots to perform more human-like tasks; third, robot systems equipped with generative AI technology have independent learning, understanding, and generalization capabilities, and can quickly master new skills in new scenarios. 

2024 will become the first year of the robot outbreak, with the current outbreak of the AI development, as well as the acceleration of the global "robotics" process, to become the next important application of practical AI scenario.

The automobile itself is an intelligent "mobile robot". IAT has accumulated rich experience and capabilities in the field of automotive design and development, including product definition, styling design, engineering design, software development, performance simulation, test and production of prototypes, etc., and has migrated such applications to the robot industry. 

At the same time, IAT will reuse its accumulated resources in supply chain areas such as driving, chip, wiring harness, sensing, etc., as well as technical cooperation and market resources in advanced technology countries such as Japan, Germany, and the United States, for the robotics industry.

The in-depth strategic cooperation between IAT and NVIDIA Omniverse platform will well connect with NVIDIA's complete robotics product system, including edge computing chips, Jetson hardware solutions, Isaac software development and testing solutions, and robot development ecosystem.

The "global robotics industry explosion" is an historical opportunity. Based on the accumulation of IAT's rich industrial experience and capabilities, the company will spare no effort in integrating the most advanced software and hardware technology supply chain, creating an open collaborative innovation platform, and joining hands with leading enterprises in various industries to empower and support the innovative development and application of AI robots in various industries.

In terms of software system, IAT is committed to improving the robot's comprehensive situational awareness capability, comprehensive analysis and decision-making capability, and precise execution and feedback capability, using the automatic driving system as a reference. The robot products will be equipped with advanced sensing capabilities and comprehensive understanding algorithms, capable of performing massive scene simulation and responding to decision-making algorithms, and ultimately implementing precise drive execution and rapid feedback correction.

Regarding hardware system, the company will focus on the comprehensive sensing and fusion capability of sensors, including spatial accurate positioning radar, high-performance edge computing chips, high-performance actuators, motors and controllers, as well as the application of new materials, such as nano-modified materials.

On system integration, IAT will comprehensively build the "command system" (industrial brain) and "execution system" (various types of robot) through the management system of "AI+Industry 4.0", forming a cross-domain ODM integration capability for solutions and products.

In the future, with the support of the best-in-class intelligent tank lineup—Zhipu AI, top universities, various fields of ecology, and the AI Robotics Division of IAT, we will serve the state-owned companies/leading private enterprises in upgrading and applying the robotic systems in their own business and industrial chain, and actively participate in the innovation and upgrading of robots in the industry.

Through continuous technological innovation and industry chain integration, IAT will promote the innovative development of AI and robotics in different fields, and provide "innovation engines" for the development of "new quality productivity" in various industries.
