CHENGDU, July 16 (Xinhua) -- In recent years, Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province, has stepped up efforts to develop its artificial intelligence and robotics industries, strengthening industrial clustering and fostering a comprehensive robotics ecosystem.
To better meet industry needs, a robot training technology and innovation center of Tianfu Jiangxi Laboratory in Chengdu has built a robot training base featuring full-scale simulations of real life. The center has also developed a data platform that continuously generates datasets for different scenarios, helping robots to apply what they learn to real-world applications. After sufficient training, robots are ready for commercial use.
Earlier this month, the ROBO+ intelligent robot store opened in Chengdu. The store integrates retail and experience, showcasing AI and robotics innovations from across China and bringing new technologies closer to the public.
