of achievements.
The exchange meeting, centered around
"Industry Chain Improvement," leveraged IWAMA's international
influence in advanced manufacturing and automation. It focused on industrial
chain collaboration, technological innovation, and the transformation of
research achievements. Several industry experts delivered insightful and
profound keynote speeches. Yu Tao, Dean of the Special Humanoid Robot Research
Institute at Shanghai University, Yang Jinghui, Professor at Shanghai Second
Polytechnic University, Wan Jin, Professor at Shandong Agricultural University,
Zou Zongfeng, Professor at Shanghai University, Hirpa Lemu, Professor at the
University of Stavanger in Norway, Vishal S Sharma, Senior Lecturer at the
Melbourne Institute of Engineering and Technology in Australia, and Lizhen
Huang, Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, each
analyzed the new requirements and challenges of smart manufacturing development
under the new circumstances from multiple dimensions based on their respective
professional fields. They elaborated on the advanced path for enterprise
intelligent upgrading. At the event, Academician Wang Kesheng also engaged in
