03 Quadruped Robot Development Project for Inspection Tasks

Addressing engineering challenges such as insufficient stability and durability in existing quadruped inspection robots, this project develops a proprietary whole-machine platform, optimizing mechanical structure, drive, motion algorithms, and environmental perception to enhance mobility, load capacity, and anti-interference in complex terrains. With reserved expansion interfaces, it aims to create a versatile inspection mobile platform adaptable to multiple scenarios through iterative optimization.

04 AI Desktop Psychological Therapy and Environmental Perception Companion Robot

This project develops a cost-effective desktop companion robot to address issues of poor interaction, homogenization, and high prices in similar products. Hardware adopts a low-cost modular solution, leveraging multimodal perception and lightweight emotional algorithms for human-like emotional interaction, suitable for children, elderly, and office scenarios. Fully open-source software and hardware lower development barriers, with a hundred-yuan cost level targeting the mass consumer market.

05 Personalized AIGC and Multi-Agent Interactive Cultural Creative Instant Delivery Terminal Project

This project creates an AIGC cultural creative integrated terminal named Shankamillo, utilizing proprietary style models and multi-agent architecture to quickly generate personalized digital avatars. An innovative asynchronous printing mode improves equipment processing efficiency. Adopting a C2M model for offline scenarios like cultural tourism and exhibition halls, it has been validated through real-world deployment, aiming to reshape offline image consumption and build a digital cultural creative ecosystem.

06 Intelligent Vocational Skills Training "Study Buddy" Desktop Robot Project

Targeting pain points in vocational schools such as outdated training content, insufficient teachers, and lack of personalized guidance, this "Study Buddy" desktop training robot establishes an edge-cloud three-layer architecture. The terminal uses visual recognition and industry knowledge bases for intelligent full-process guidance and automatic grading. The edge side, with domestic computing power, supports parallel operations for multiple devices and generates student skill profiles. The cloud builds a dedicated industry knowledge base to optimize AI models, forming a customized intelligent training system aligned with Shanghai's vocational training upgrade policy needs.

07 PetBot Duoduo: Prototype Project for Home Embodied Agent

China has a huge demand for home-based elderly care, but existing devices lack functionality, with no product integrating mobility, care, companionship, and interaction. PetBot Duoduo is a mobile home elderly care companion robot, leveraging multimodal vision and end-cloud large models to achieve autonomous patrol, fall alerts, remote companionship, and proactive care, filling a market gap. Targeting a tens-of-billion-yuan elderly care hardware market, it has promising commercial prospects.

08 Quadruped Robot Autonomous Navigation System Project

Existing 2D navigation solutions for quadruped robots struggle with complex conditions. This project develops a multi-sensor fusion 3D navigation system, achieving centimeter-level indoor and outdoor positioning and dynamic obstacle avoidance with strong versatility, validated through multi-scenario testing. The project plans to expand scenarios within one year and achieve mass production and sales within two years, targeting logistics, security, and industrial fields with vast market space.

09 Pet-Type Emotional Companion Robot Development Project

This project develops a pet-shaped emotional companion robot for solitary youth, elderly, and high-stress professionals. Leveraging multimodal perception and end-cloud collaborative algorithms, it provides emotional comfort and daily companionship, ensuring privacy through local data processing, creating a hardware-software integrated consumer-grade companion product.

10 ZenseAI: Millimeter-Wave Non-Contact Health Perception and AI Companion System Project

Leveraging university lab expertise in millimeter-wave radar and AI signal processing, the team addresses pain points of poor practicality and low retention in current companion hardware with the desktop terminal "ZenseAI." Equipped with medical-grade millimeter-wave radar, it non-invasively and accurately collects multiple vital signs while protecting privacy. Integrating large models enables proactive interaction after perception, breaking the industry limitation of radar solely for sleep monitoring, covering functions like vital sign monitoring and emotional companionship. Targeting high-stress professionals, this track shows significant growth and vast market space.

This evaluation is a key practice for Putuo District in laying out future industries and cultivating new productive forces. After expert comprehensive review, high-quality projects passing the evaluation will be reported to the District Science and Technology Commission and included in the center's project library. The center will continue to coordinate government, industry, academia, research, and capital resources to bridge the scientific and technological achievements transformation chain, accelerate the scenario-based application of cutting-edge technologies, and strive to build a regional robotics industry innovation hub.
