Wang Xingxing from Yu Shu Technology Appointed as Chief Scientist, Hangzhou Establishes a New High Ground for Embodied Intelligence

On August 4, Hangzhou High-tech Zone (Binjiang) held a promotion conference for the construction of an innovation highland in the artificial intelligence industry, officially launching the Hangzhou Embodied Intelligence Application Pilot Base. At this conference, Wang Xingxing, CEO of the well-known robotics company Yùshù Technology, was awarded a certificate as Chief Scientist and will lead the technical and scientific research direction of the base.

The pilot base aims to bridge the "last mile" between scientific research results and industrialization. It will build four core functional areas: Capability Supply Center, Model Training Center, Scenario Verification Center, and Testing and Certification Center. Through these layouts, Hangzhou High-tech Zone hopes to form a complete chain of "computing power + data + model + scenario application," foster new quality productive forces, and ultimately create a national demonstration hub for the full system of embodied intelligence.

Multiples Policy Support, Promote Industrial Innovation

To ensure the rapid development of the embodied intelligence industry, Hangzhou High-tech Zone has introduced multiple strong support policies.

In terms of data elements, the government will provide annual "corpus coupons" worth up to 50 million yuan, and offer up to 50% subsidies for enterprises' annual infrastructure usage fees, encouraging companies to use data resources in the research and application of large AI models.

In terms of computing power elements, the High-tech Zone will allocate up to 100 million yuan annually in "computing power coupons" to subsidize up to 60% of enterprises' computing power usage fees, aiming to alleviate the demand pressure for high computing power in AI research and development.

In addition, the conference also released typical AI scenario demands covering five fields: manufacturing, financial trade, healthcare, and others, and launched the construction of the Hangzhou ShuGu Data Innovation Center and the Zhejiang Humanoid Robot Future Industry Pioneering Area, further improving Hangzhou's industrial layout in the field of artificial intelligence.
