Hefei, Anhui - From September 20 to 23, the 2024 World Manufacturing Convention in Hefei is showcasing cutting-edge innovations at iFlytek's Artificial Intelligence Industrial Park, highlighting AI technologies poised to transform daily life and industry.

One of the standout exhibits is iFlytek’s industrial inspection robot dog, powered by its IFLY-AIBOT system. This AI-driven robot integrates mobility, navigation, voice interaction, and video analysis, enabling autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance in both indoor and outdoor environments. It adapts seamlessly to different terrains without needing to adjust its gait.

Equipped with microphones, cameras, and gas sensors, the robot excels in voice interaction, gas detection, and visual analysis. Deployed in power plants and gas stations, it enhances safety and efficiency by detecting equipment faults and gas leaks using acoustic imaging.

iFlytek also introduced its iFlyGo robot, an AI companion designed for Go enthusiasts and professionals. Combining perception, cognition, and motion intelligence, the iFlyGo offers personalized training by adjusting the difficulty to match the player's skill level. It also engages in autonomous self-play, continuously refining its abilities through self-training.

Merging AI with traditional culture, iFlytek’s calligraphy and painting robot showcased its ability to replicate the brushstrokes of master artists, creating intricate Chinese ink paintings within minutes. The robot can also reproduce various calligraphy styles, from regular script to cursive and clerical script. Through this innovation, iFlytek is preserving traditional Chinese art techniques while making them more accessible and engaging through technology.

Another notable product was iFlytek’s smart blackboard, which integrates an AI virtual human dialogue function. This advanced technology blends language comprehension, knowledge-based Q&A, and logical reasoning with interactive virtual avatars. Particularly effective in classrooms, students can engage with avatars of historical figures and scientists. Since its implementation, internal data shows a significant improvement in student performance—problem-solving rates have risen from 23% to 95%, and class participation has jumped from below 40% to over 80%.

With its diverse array of AI-driven innovations, iFlytek is not only revolutionizing industry but also shaping the future of education, culture, and entertainment. As AI continues to evolve, its transformative potential promises to enhance many facets of daily life, leaving an indelible mark on both the modern and traditional worlds.
