He emphasized that USTC students should utilize their solid strength in mathematics and physics to actively engage in this field full of opportunities.

Dai Ruoli, founder and CEO of Noitom, shared the insights he gained from his company's transition from motion capture to robot data services, systematically analyzing the commercial value and future prospects of the robot data market.

Zhang Wei, founder of LimX Dynamics, delved into the technical challenges and business hurdles. He likened the current stage of the industry to the "Wright Brothers moment", emphasizing the importance of product details and engineering capabilities.

Chen Kai, director of the Embodied Intelligence Department at the Zhongguancun AI Institute of Zhongguancun Academy in Beijing, highlighted the rich scientific research, innovation and business opportunities in the field of embodied intelligence.

A round-table discussion session was held, with several participants expressing their intention to establish research and development institutions in GUi.
