Mr. Jincai Yang

Mr. Jincai Yang said at the appointment ceremony that he hopes to carry out extensive cooperation with the university in urban transportation and unmanned systems and he pointed out that intelligent connected unmanned systems, as a new integrated innovation field, consists of four major parts of water, land, air and space. For water, there are unmanned ships, unmanned boats, underwater submersibles, and underwater robots; for land, there are robots and various unmanned vehicles; for aerial use, there are various aircraft. Whether it is manned or not, as long as it is unmanned, it is an important part of the future transportation, which can be closely aligned with the orientation of schools and can carry out all-round cooperation in the development of industry-education integration. At the same time, in the field of positioning systems, satellite positioning and navigation systems such as GPS, Beidou, Galileo, and GNSS can also bring strong application support for intelligent transportation and logistics applications.

Also, Chairman Yang gave advice to Shenzhen Technology University that, nowadays, as the unmanned system application market has broad prospect and unmanned system has close relation with transportation, jointly organize worldwide unmanned system communication activities. he hopes that USYS Research Institute, together with the College of Transportation can jointly set up the College of Unmanned System, integrating information and resources. He is convinced that it will greatly push the development of urban transportation and transportation industry as well as making China a country of powerful transportation.[The 6th China International UAS Expo 2023(Include Autonomous Driving, Unmanned Vehicle, Unmanned Aircraft, Unmanned Ship, Navigation Technology) will be held in Hall 2, Shenzhen Convention&Exhibition Center on May 26-28.
