The Intelligent Aerospace Innovation Competition is held in Shanghai to tap the potential of new technologies such as artificial intelligence in the aerospace field

  China News Service, December 21st (Zheng Yingying) During the "Moon Digging'Earth' Journey" just completed by Chang'e 5, the separation and docking of various devices made "space technology" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and also prosperous in spaceflight The popularity of the event.

The first "Sword Cup" Intelligent Aerospace Innovation Competition hosted by Shanghai Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Shanghai Astronautical Society was held in Shanghai on the 21st. It aims to screen high-level domestic innovations, explore the frontier development direction of aircraft technology, and incubate emerging technologies in aerospace. Expanded applications in the field.

  The competition includes three directions: intelligent technology and application, system design and cluster technology, and new concept aircraft design.

The competition attracted the attention and active participation of many well-known domestic universities and scientific research institutions, and received more than 100 innovative works. These "high-precision" projects demonstrated the creativity and excellent design of young talents in the professional field.

  Gao Bo, vice president of Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, said in an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com that from the perspective of national technological development and innovation, intelligence is a major direction for future development. The development direction of the next generation is also smart.

Therefore, the smart aerospace innovation competition held in Shanghai, on the one hand, gathers the popularity of "smart innovation" in the society, and on the other hand, it also provides a platform for students to display their innovative achievements. "We also hope to use this platform to find some cutting-edge intelligent talents. , Will be able to enrich our R&D team in the future."

  Gao Bo said that this year Shanghai Aerospace played an important role in Mars exploration and Chang'e 5 missions, but the developers also felt that in the future deep space exploration, the aerospace field still needs a lot of artificial intelligence results, "the use of innovative technology , Enabling us to achieve better development in deep space exploration."

  Xu Xin, a third-year graduate student of Shanghai Jiaotong University, was the first prize winner of this competition. He brought the project "Infrared Target Detection Technology Based on Deep Learning".

  Xu Xin introduced that what he did was mainly the UAV target detection and tracking algorithm. "Our algorithm is mainly based on the current hot artificial intelligence and deep learning technology, relying on big data to learn some features of the target, and then based on these features To identify the target, distinguish the drone and some interference objects in the background, so as to accurately locate the position of the drone target."

  He said that artificial intelligence has penetrated into various fields. Through this competition, not only did I get to know a lot of "like-minded" young students, the research on the same platform has also improved project research.

  Focusing on the theme of "Smartly Painted Sky and Space, Empowering the Future", the works presented by the young contestants at the scene covered intelligent aircraft, bionic flying robots, and stepless attitude change aircraft, fully embodying "Smartly Painted Sky Future" development prospects.

  After the preliminary review and expert review, 25 projects were finally selected for the finals, and they were released at the Shanghai Aerospace Innovation Center on the same day.

There are many awards in this innovation competition, with special awards, first, second and third prizes, and the "Excellent Organization Award".

In addition, the competition organizing committee has also set up generous bonuses to support the incubation of innovative projects and contribute new forces to aerospace technology innovation.
