On the occasion of the grand opening of the 2024 Word AI Conference & High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance (WAIC), Premier Li Qiang came to the scene and delivered an important speech, opening a new chapter of scientific and technological innovation and intelligent integration for the conference. This conference brings together the world's top AI technologies and applications, in which the cross-border cooperation between XCMG Group and NetEase - unmanned excavator and loader, became the focus of attention, leading the unmanned technology to a new height.

Driverless technology, leading the new style of future construction

At the conference, the unmanned excavator and loader jointly developed by XCMG and NetEase made a shocking appearance, becoming a bridge connecting reality and the future. Particularly eye-catching was the miniature unmanned excavator experience area set up at the site. Through the flight control handle combined with AR glasses, the audience felt as if they were in the game world, experiencing the fun and challenge of controlling the excavator in person, and this unprecedented immersive experience attracted many audience members to try it out.

These two unmanned equipments have demonstrated excellent performance in complex environments by their excellent perception modeling capability, intelligent decision-making system and imitation learning function. They are able to monitor and avoid obstacles in real time, preventing vehicles from tipping over and ensuring operational safety; at the same time, they are able to carry out high-intensity and high-risk tasks in extreme environments, greatly enhancing construction efficiency and safety, and providing strong technical support for construction units.

Cross-border integration, drawing a new blueprint for intelligent engineering together

The cross-border cooperation between XCMG and NetEase is an important milestone in the intelligent transformation of the construction machinery industry. Based on XCMG's intelligent control platform and the deep integration of NetEase's digital and AI technologies accumulated in the game field, the two sides have successfully realized the intelligent upgrading of excavators, loaders and other traditional construction machinery. These equipments are not only equipped with advanced functions such as remote control and cloud computing, but also realize unmanned operation, bringing revolutionary changes to multiple scenarios such as open-pit mines, road construction and mixing stations.

Looking ahead, XCMG and NetEase will continue to deepen their cooperation, jointly explore the cutting-edge trend of construction machinery intelligence, and customize and develop unmanned fleet management systems applicable to multiple scenarios. Both parties will join hands with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain to meet the new opportunities of unmanned development, promote the application of AI technology in a wider range of construction operation scenarios and more complex environments, and open a brand new chapter of new quality productivity.

WAIC not only demonstrated the latest achievements of XCMG and NetEase in the field of unmanned, but also set a benchmark for the intelligent transformation of the global construction machinery industry. With the continuous progress of AI technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, the future of unmanned construction machinery will be brighter.
