A discussion meeting of the preparationof robotic science and engineering college was held by NEU in Han Qing AssemblyHall, Room 308, September, 23rd. Sun Quan, the director of Digh-tech Departmentof Advanced Manufacturing and Automation Bureau, Ministry of Science and Technology,with NEU’s President Zhao Ji, Vice President Wang Jinkuan and Wang Jianhua attendingthis meeting. A systematic demonstration about this preparation was made by a professionalgroup composed of experts from domestic well-known universities in the field ofrobotic and relevant corporations. Wang Jianhua presided over this meeting.
During the meeting, presidentZhao pointed out that robot will be the intermedium between people and intelligentmachine, and robotics will be the symbolof country’s technological innovation level and high-end manufacturing level.The robot in the future will closely combine with all kinds of new technologysuch as clouding computing, advanced material and a new generation ofartificial intelligence, so as to broaden the fields and achieve intellectualizing.He said the preponderant disciplines that NEU has now will give a strongsupport to the newborn robotic, and the development of robotic will, in turn, strengthenthe preponderant disciplines. He showed that the robotic science and engineeringcollege which is established by NEU and Shenyang institute of automation, Chineseacademy of sciences, along with Shenyang SIASUN Robot & Automation Corporationwill give a full play to the combination of industry-university-research corporations,moreover, it will help to introduce the talents both domestic and abroad in ourschool, achieving the economic transformation and upgrading in Shenyang,strongly promoting Shenyang into an internationally robotic industrial base,and finally speed up the construction of establishing comprehensive nationalinnovation reform experimental zone.
Sun pointed out that in the process ofdeepening the reform of technological system and mechanism, and the governmentwould give a strong support to the intelligent robot and its manufacturing. Hesaid he had paid much attention to the RSEC which was the first college inrobotic field among all the “985 projects” universities. He thought the establishmentwill certainly solve the insufficient specialist problem in the robotic fieldand boost the local economic development.
Liu Changsheng, the Director of DevelopmentPlanning and Disciplinary Construction Department reported the constructionscheme of RSEC to experts, and they unanimously approved this conceptionand initiative.
The experts said that the establishmentof the RESC is an important act, and it will help to build a top-rankingdiscipline. They strongly recommended NEU speed up its preparation work, andsuggested the Liaoning government and Shenyang government provide them financeand policy support. They hoped that this establishment would make greatercontribution to world-class robot industrial base.
