Qilu Net · Lightning News, November 10 On November 10, the News Office of the Tai'an Municipal People's Government held a press conference. Wang Lijun, Deputy Mayor of Tai'an Municipal People's Government, introduced the achievements and subsequent work measures of the first CMG World Robot Climbing Mount Tai Competition, and responsible comrades from relevant departments, units, and enterprises in Tai'an City answered reporters' questions.

According to the introduction, on November 2, Tai'an City, with the theme of “Looking Far and High · Smart Competition at Mount Tai,” jointly with the News New Media Center of China Media Group, the Shandong Branch of China Media Group, the Youth Programs Center of China Media Group Sports, and the Saidi Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, held the first CMG World Robot Climbing Mount Tai Competition. During the competition, accompanying events were held Embodied Intelligence A series of activities including industrial development cooperation talks, fund empowerment docking meetings, technology docking exchange meetings, and industrial ecology exhibitions achieved multiple results in competition, industrial docking, technological exchange, and cultural tourism promotion.

The competition opened a brand-new scene for real-scene testing of mountain robots. The track was selected from the Taishan Hongmen to Zhongtianmen hiking trail, creating a natural testing ground for mountain environments. The competition set up 4 formal competition projects and 1 pathfinding challenge, focusing on testing core performances such as robot motion control, environmental perception, and load-bearing endurance. 89 teams from 12 provinces (municipalities directly under the central government) participated, with an overall completion rate reaching 86.5%.

The competition landed a batch of industrial cooperation projects. 110 enterprises participated in the embodied intelligence industrial ecology exhibition. 28 industrial projects were signed collectively, with a total investment amount of 3950000000 yuan. More than 50 venture capital institutions and more than 140 industrial chain enterprises carried out investment and financing docking, 3 industrial funds landed investment signings, and multiple robot enterprises reached credit cooperation intentions with financial institutions.

The competition built a platform for technical exchange and scene innovation. Experts from well-known universities, research institutes, and industry enterprises were invited to carry out exchanges and discussions around embodied intelligence technology routes, scene applications, etc. A cumulative total of more than 100 scene lists were released, covering fields such as forest fire prevention, mountain maintenance, and cultural tourism services.

The heat of the competition's dissemination is rising, and the synergy effect of culture and tourism is prominent. The live broadcast views of the competition exceeded 16,000,000 people, with a cumulative play count of 450,000,000 across the entire network, and 98 topics reached the hot search lists of major platforms. CCTV's "News 1+1" launched a special program to deeply interpret the industrial value of the competition. The competition has driven a rise in culture and tourism consumption, Exoskeleton robots have become a popular experience project in Mount Tai.

The press conference introduced that Tai'an City will continue to amplify the effect of the competition, and scientifically and orderly, free of charge, open parts of Mount Tai and related robot training grounds to provide real-scene training and testing conditions for domestic and international robot enterprises and research institutions. At the same time, it will coordinate and do a good job of matching scene supply and demand, data and computing power support, and on-site service guarantees.

Strengthen scene opening and supply-demand matching. On the basis of opening relevant venues for free and orderly access, optimize the supporting services for robot training and testing. Around aspects such as Mount Tai forest fire prevention, cultural tourism services, business consumption, cultural and museum venues, and forest management, release application scenarios in batches and deeply explore potential cooperation opportunities.

Strengthen data, computing power, and factor guarantees. Build a good municipal-level computing power scheduling platform, integrate local artificial intelligence data resources, collect and share mountain real-scene datasets, and reduce enterprise data collection and trial-and-error costs.

Strengthen project attraction, cultivation, and implementation services. Make good use of government investment funds and relevant policies, and increase project implementation service guarantees.

At the press conference, Tai'an City sincerely invites more robot enterprises and scientific research institutions to come to Mount Tai, to climb high and look far with Tai'an, and intelligently compete for the future.
