WUST News — The Ministry of Science and Technology recently announced the approval results for the “Science and Technology Innovation 2030 – ‘New Generation Artificial Intelligence’ Major Project.” The project titled “Development and Large-Scale Application of End-Side High-Performance Embodied Intelligent SoC Chip and Tool Chain,” jointly submitted by Zhuhai AMicro Technology Co., Ltd. in collaboration with eight institutions including Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST), Sun Yat-sen University, Peking University, and University of Macau, has been officially approved.

The total funding for the project amounts to 257 million RMB, including 39.663 million RMB in state allocation. WUST plays a critical role as the lead unit for the first subproject, titled “Optimization and Adaptation of Embodied Intelligence Models for Chip Implementation,” with approved funding of 5.198 million RMB. Professor Jiang Lin from the School of Mechanical Engineering serves as the principal investigator of this subproject.

According to the project task description, Professor Jiang Lin and his team will conduct in-depth research on optimizing and adapting embodied intelligence models for the chip implementation process, contributing to the practical application of artificial intelligence technologies.

This approval to lead a national-level major project demonstrates the strong expertise of WUST’s research team in the field of artificial intelligence and sets a new benchmark for scientific exploration in the School of Mechanical Engineering. WUST will seize this opportunity to further stimulate research vitality, promote the development of high-level achievements, and provide solid support for its pursuit of “Double First-Class” initiative, while actively contributing to Hubei’s efforts in building a national pioneer area for the new development paradigm and a strategic hub.

It is reported that over the past three years, WUST has secured one national key R&D program project, seven subprojects under national key R&D programs and national science and technology major projects, with cumulative funding exceeding 50 million RMB.
