In March 2017, "Artificial Intelligence" was included in the government work report for the first time. The 13th Party Congress of Shaanxi Province held not long ago established the "Five New" strategic tasks and emphasized the need for We should regard cultivating new kinetic energy as the fundamental support for achieving a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and striving to catch up and surpass. Artificial intelligence, a concept that has been born for 61 years, is becoming a new engine for economic innovation, development, transformation and upgrading with the coordinated development of the Internet, big data, and cloud computing. According to statistics, more than 20 provinces and cities across the country have cultivated and promoted the development of robots as a key industry. More than 40 robot industrial parks have been built or are under construction, and there are more than 800 enterprises. Today, as our city accelerates its transformation and development and the construction of the "Four Tongchuans" and achieves "catching up and surpassing", cultivating a scientific and technological innovation atmosphere, improving the ability of enterprises to innovate and upgrade, and establishing a model of entrepreneurship and innovation have become important paths for accelerating the transformation and development of Tongchuan. During a survey and visit to the city's United Front System to promote transformation and development, the author of this article met such an entrepreneurial team. Its hard-working and persistent innovative spirit is the epitome of thousands of entrepreneurs on the road to transformation and development in Tongchuan.

On the day of Mengxia, everything is beautiful. In the Tongchuan College Student Entrepreneurship Incubator, a large number of passionate and ideal entrepreneurs build entrepreneurial teams, plan market positioning, explore business models, develop key technologies, and design core products. They are like eagles in the vast blue sky of Tongchuan. Fly high and fly freely. Among this group of young entrepreneurs, there is such an enthusiastic, efficient and creative entrepreneurial team born in the 1990s, Tongren Technology?.

Youthful dreams gather in Tongchuan

Tongchuan Tongren Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology enterprise focusing on the research and development of service robots, educational robot training, and overall solutions for maker spaces. The founder of the company, Li Peng, is a typical technical youth. While studying at China University of Mining and Technology, he won the second prize in the National College Student Mathematical Modeling Competition. After graduating in 2014, the "GPS Multiple Triangulation Algorithm Positioning" developed by myself was patented by the State Intellectual Property Office. This patented technology was later used in positioning systems such as children's smart positioning watches and smart dog leashes. After tasting the fruits of independent innovation and R&D for the first time, Li Peng resolutely quit his stable job at the Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Group Research Institute. Together with Wang Mingyang and Gao Gang, two high-spirited young people, they shared the same passion for robots. Dream? Form an entrepreneurial alliance team. The three young entrepreneurs, with their feelings of family and country looking up at the stars and their down-to-earth spirit of hard work, unanimously decided to choose their hometown of Tongchuan, where they were born and raised. On the fertile soil of their hometown, the three people vowed to use their wisdom and sweat to demonstrate their personal values, and use technological innovation and smart manufacturing to change the technological landscape of their hometown. The name of the company, Tongren Technology, also carries their lifelong dream of "Tongchuan Technology, Tongren Creation".

Since Tongren Electronic Technology was incorporated in 2016, its patented technology "Intelligent Pulse Servo Control System for Steering Gears" is mainly used to ensure the stability of robot steering gears; "Smart Hall Manhole Cover System", Its main function is to use a series of sensors, RFID tags, and remote communications to realize unattended manhole covers and keep abreast of the real-time conditions of the manhole covers; patents such as "Talking Apple" and "New Appearance Design of Flame Sensors" are all looking for application transformation. These four patented technologies have been reported to the National Patent Office. In the process of starting a business, they were confused by the shortage of funds for technology investment, but their entrepreneurial ambitions still burst out.

The founder of Tongchuan Intelligent Education

In early 2017, through research in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places, the three decided to combine STEAM education (STEAM is an educational concept, with Different from the traditional single-subject education method that emphasizes book knowledge), it focuses on the field of maker education, that is, robot education, to create an atmosphere of Tongchuan science and technology education.

Robot education was researched and applied by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States in 1994. Subsequently, some developed countries such as Japan and the United States attached great importance to the role and impact of robotics subject education on high-tech society. In information technology classes and extracurricular Science and technology activities offer courses on robotics. In 2000, Beijing incorporated the popularization of robot education into information technology courses in the form of scientific research projects, and became the first in China to launch robot courses in primary and secondary schools. In 2001, Shanghai Southwest Weiyu Middle School, Luwan Senior High School and other schools began to explore and try out robot activities in the classroom in the form of "school-based courses". In 2005, Harbin opened "Artificial Intelligence and Robotics" courses in 41 schools, using compulsory courses to educate primary and secondary school students in robotics science. In addition, in the reform of the new academic structure of high schools and higher education in Hong Kong, robot production courses have been added to the high school design and applied technology courses. Robot education is blooming all over the country. As for the situation of robot education in Tongchuan that was involved in early 2016, the reality is not optimistic.

During the visit, the three young people saw that there are very few primary and secondary schools in the city that are aware of robot education. Some are equipped with robot teaching equipment distributed by the provincial education system, but there are no courses related to robot education. , the teachers are untrained, resulting in professional and expensive robotic equipment being left idle. In order to change this situation, the three people immediately compiled a robot curriculum system for primary and secondary schools in Tongchuan City, and taught robot education knowledge to primary and secondary schools in Tongchuan on a voluntary basis. The "SCRATCH Creative Programming" educational software written by him allows students to go from the concept of robots to making smart music fans, driverless line-finding cars, smart business card machines, smart cranes, nail sorters, etc. So far, Li Peng, Wang Mingyang, and Gao Gang have volunteered to teach 160 hours of lessons for teachers and students in more than 10 schools including Chaoyang Primary School, Jinmo Primary School, Jingfeng Middle School, Abaozhai Primary and Secondary School, Yuchi Primary and Secondary School, and Wenzhong Middle School in Tongchuan City. In May this year, 13 students they trained participated in the Shaanxi Youth Robot Competition with the New District Youth Extracurricular Activity Center as the team. In the competition, the intelligent voice console and offline teaching robot produced by students won 3rd and 4th place. At present, students in Chaoyang Primary School and Yufengyuan Primary School have become proficient in using hard technology products such as 3D printers, laser cutting machines, plotters and drones. School teachers and parents clearly feel that they have learned a lot from Tongren’s educational robot courses. Through hands-on assembly and programming practice, children's logical thinking ability, teamwork ability, innovation and creativity ability are improved day by day. ;
