en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Technical Committee of the Xiong'an Aerospace Information Research Institute has been officially established, with Zhang Ping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, appointed as its director. Concurrently, four R&D centers, including the Satellite Internet Testing Center, were inaugurated. This move is seen as a targeted layout for future industries by the Xiong'an New Area at the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.

At the institute's exhibition hall, researchers demonstrated two technological achievements: first, a self-developed integrated positioning technology for underground spaces where BeiDou signals are blocked, achieving centimeter-level precise positioning. Zhang Ping stated that this technology has reached an internationally pioneering level and has been implemented in practice. Second, the tactile anthropomorphic five-fingered dexterous hand from the Mech-Mind Embodied Intelligence R&D Center, which can flexibly grasp objects through force feedback.

The establishment of the Technical Committee has provided the institute with expert support. Zhang Ping stated that the focus will be on three tasks: steering technological direction, promoting collaborative innovation, and nurturing young talent. Xu Kun, President of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, revealed that the university's 6G major scientific infrastructure platform will be jointly developed with the institute's satellite internet testing platform. Wu Haijun, Executive Deputy Director of the Hebei Provincial Committee's Xiong'an Office, proposed granting researchers greater autonomy and fostering an environment that encourages innovation and tolerates failure.

In terms of technology transfer, Yu Guoyi, a member of the Xiong'an New Area Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of its Administrative Committee, stated that the area will integrate the scientific and technological achievements of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, transportation scenario resources, and the new area's policies. It will leverage the new area's science and technology innovation center, pilot testing base, and full-chain funds to facilitate local technology transfer and mass production. Qi Shuping, Chairman of Hebei Communications Investment Group, proposed focusing on deepening the application of "BeiDou+" and "Satellite Internet+" in fields such as emergency rescue, smart transportation, and urban governance.

Currently, the Electric Bicycle Safety Risk Monitoring R&D Center is operational, and the satellite internet testing platform is being built to national standards. Xu Kun suggested establishing a batch of public service platforms oriented towards industries and sectors, and striving for the designation of national-level platforms.
