The AITO M7 is a full-size EREV (range extender) SUV with six seats, a collaborative creation by Seres Group and tech giant Huawei. It boasts a range of 1,400 kilometers, integrating Huawei's Intelligent Driving Platform with advanced Lidar systems and multi-device interactivity. 

The Lidar systems use eye-safe laser beams to "see" the world in 3D, providing machines and computers with an accurate representation of the surveyed environment.

Accompanying the AITO M7 is the 3D gluing quality inspection robot from THESEUS, a collaborative result between the Chongqing Liangjiang New Area and the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 

This technological marvel, designed for automotive manufacturing processes, represents a significant leap in domestic technology, filling a crucial gap in the industry and already finding application in several automotive brands, including AITO.

AITO M7 encapsulates Chongqing's commitment to digital innovation in mobility, presenting a compelling choice for consumers looking for a full-size SUV that combines luxury, technology, and efficiency.

MR glasses and handwriting AI recognition

Chongqing's digital expertise extends beyond manufacturing into the realm of cultural preservation. The Pavilion offers an immersive experience with mixed reality (MR) glasses, transporting visitors to a virtual Sanxingdui ancient culture. 

This blend of augmented reality and heritage creates a lifelike journey through time, offering a novel way to engage with history.

According to Lianou Chongqing Technology Co., Ltd., the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou also witnessed the application of these innovative technologies. The company's introduced "5G + XR" products, especially the "Huandi China" series, are set to redefine the cultural tourism experience, merging virtual scenarios with real-world settings.

In addition, Chongqing Aoxiong Online Information Technology Co., Ltd., a leader in handwriting AI recognition, showcases its advanced electronic signature technology at the Expo. 

Their system captures unique biometric data from signatures, combining state secret encryption algorithms and blockchain technology to create secure, tamper-proof electronic signatures. 

This can be used explicitly in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, which has bolstered the e-signature industry, setting clear rules for electronic commerce.
