“With passive walking technology, future humanoid robots could walk 140 kilometers at a mere one kilowatt hour.”

According to Mr. Zhang Jianwei, an academician of the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Hamburg who is engaged in the study of cognitive robotics, with industrial 4.0 smart computing technology, the high-end sensors could be embedded in an industrial robot. Then it could not only move, but it could also perform operational and perceptive functions. The key is to transform all the data into knowledge to guide the robot and help it better understand its world model, making human-computer interaction easier.

This is a scene from the 2017 OVC Expo held from November 1st to November 3rd in Wuhan.For this exposition, the experts at home and abroad met in Wuhan to have some high-tech brainstorms.They held heated discussions on such topics as,living in the era of AI+, how to upgrade the optoelectronic information industry, how to promote the construction of pilot free trade zones, and the development of the optical communication industry in a 5G era.

At the site of the expo, people could watch at close range how mobile phone panel glass could be processed with precision equipment easily;they could also see JD’s 8k Ultra-HD display and a flexible AMOLED display, which was the first of its kind in China. In addition, they could appreciate the digital art gallery: a BOE painting screen, which could bring the art gallery into your home. They could also manipulate the on-site VR single-soldier combat simulator, a bazooka system, and a sighting system for weapons, which could change the future of warfare.

“未來的人形機器人，使用被動行走技術(shù)，一度電可以走140公里。”

在德國從事認(rèn)知機器人技術(shù)的漢堡科學(xué)院院士張建偉介紹，基于工業(yè)4.0中的智能計算技術(shù)，將高端傳感器嵌入到工業(yè)機器人內(nèi)，它不僅可以移動，還具有操作和感知的功能，關(guān)鍵要把大數(shù)據(jù)變成知識，用來指導(dǎo)機器人，更好地理解世界的模型，把人機交互的長度變得更短。

這是第14屆“中國光谷”國際光電子博覽會上的一個場景。2017年11月，中外專家會聚武漢，掀起一場場高科技頭腦風(fēng)暴，他們熱切地討論在“人工智能+”時代，光電信息產(chǎn)業(yè)如何升級，自由貿(mào)易試驗區(qū)建設(shè)如何推進(jìn)，“5G”時代的光通信產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展。

在現(xiàn)場，人們可以近距離觀察手機面板玻璃如何通過精密設(shè)備輕松加工完成，可以看到京東方帶來的全球領(lǐng)先的8K全系列超高清顯示，以及國內(nèi)首創(chuàng)的柔性AMOLED顯示，可以體驗把藝術(shù)畫廊搬回家的數(shù)字藝術(shù)館BOE畫屏，而且可以現(xiàn)場操作VR單兵和火箭筒作戰(zhàn)系統(tǒng)、槍械瞄準(zhǔn)系統(tǒng)，它們將改變未來戰(zhàn)爭的模式。

中國高科技公司研發(fā)出一種可彎曲2000次以上的柔性鋰電池，最小彎曲半徑可以達(dá)到30毫米。這意味著，未來的電子閱讀器可以卷在一只筆上，或者如同畫卷一般展開。基于此，成功推出全球首款柔性閱讀器。這種技術(shù)為未來柔性創(chuàng)意的拓展提供創(chuàng)造無限可能。

本屆光博會還為人們描繪出一幅“從連接到智能”的智慧光通信藍(lán)圖。

在超寬帶、移動5G等新一代信息通信技術(shù)方面，觀眾可以親身感受北斗信息的精準(zhǔn)定位和雙向移動通信的便捷；感受前沿的超大容量、超低時延、超高時間精度的5G時代技術(shù)；特種光纖產(chǎn)品在智能家居、數(shù)據(jù)中心與海纜項目等各種實際場景中的應(yīng)用；還能體驗基于高精度導(dǎo)航地圖采集的無人駕駛技術(shù)。

人類正處于從信息時代過渡到智能時代的開端。在本屆光博會光智能館，展示芯片與算法、人工智能與虛擬現(xiàn)實、智能硬件及智能終端、云平臺及創(chuàng)新城市將給我們帶來的美好生活。

經(jīng)過30年的產(chǎn)業(yè)積淀與高速發(fā)展，武漢光谷已成為全球最大的光纖光纜研制基地，孕育出一批國際領(lǐng)先、國內(nèi)首創(chuàng)的技術(shù)和產(chǎn)品，成為參與全球光電產(chǎn)業(yè)競爭的主力軍。?

A kind of flexible lithium battery with a minimum bending radius of 30mm, capable of bending more than 2,000 times, had already been produced by Chinese high-tech companies.This meant that an e-reader in the future could be twined around a pen or unfolded like a scroll painting. Based on this technology, the first flexible e-reader in the world was successfully presented.The technology could provide endless possibilities for the development of flexible creations in the future.

The OVC Expo this year also depicted a blueprint for the application of smart optical communication“from connection to intelligence.”

The intelligent robot can accomplish tasks like intelligent recognition and material classification quickly智能機器人能迅速完成智能識別、物料分類

In terms of information and communication technologies for the new generation, like ultra wideband and 5G mobile communication, the audience could personally perceive the precise positioning of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System and the convenience of two-way mobile communication. They experienced the frontier technologies of the 5G era with ultra-large capacity, ultra-low latency, and ultra-high precision features and products made from special optical fiber which are employed in making smart homes, data centers, and undersea cable projects a reality. Last but not least, they saw unmanned technology based on high-precision navigation maps.

Humans are just at the start of the transition from the information era to the smart era. The good life that will be brought to us by chips and arithmetic, AI amp;VR,intelligent hardware and terminals, cloud platforms, and creative cities was displayed in the optical intelligence themed hall.

After 30 years of industrial accumulation and rapid development, the Wuhan Optics Valley has become the world’s top research base for optical fiber and cable and has developed a group of world leading technologies and products which are the first of their kinds in China. Thus, Wuhan has grown into the main force for China to participate in global competition in optoelectronics.?
