Jiangsu will go all out to promote high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, actively seize the frontier of scientific research, speed up the deployment of national strategic scientific and technological platforms, and strive to build more peaks on the plateau of innovation.
Let the machine "read" the expressions and emotions of the elderly and respond appropriately. This technology once only appeared in science fiction movies is now being realized by Song Aiguo's team from the School of Instrument Science and Engineering of Southeast University.
The Basics of Robot Emotion Recognition and Interaction Technology is committed to creating robots that can be used for rehabilitation training for patients with Alzheimer's, stroke, depression and other diseases.
In 2019, Song Aiguo's team received 20 million yuan of funding support from Jiangsu Provincial Frontier Leading Technology Basic Research Major Project.
Since then, the team has been able to conduct scientific research with peace of mind, and has realized some technological application and transformation in just 3 years.
Jiangsu is also actively deploying major innovation platforms. One of the pre-research and construction projects for provincial-level major scientific research facilities established in Jiangsu this year is the "Information High-speed Railway Comprehensive Test Site" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This project is committed to the unified nationwide deployment of computing power and data, which are important resources of the digital economy, so as to build an important infrastructure in the digital economy era like a high-speed rail network.
Since the beginning of last year, Jiangsu has deepened its cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and accelerated the layout and construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure.
In Nanjing Qilin Science and Technology Town, the Nanjing Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has established branches of most research institutions. The Nanjing College of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Nanjing Comprehensive Science Center has taken shape.
Jiangsu is striving to build more peaks on the plateau of innovation. Jiangsu has witnessed the settlement of the innovation platform of the National Biopharmaceutical Technology Innovation Center and the National Third Generation Semiconductor Technology Innovation Center. The province is speeding up the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure such as "high-efficiency and low-carbon gas turbine test equipment" and "nano-vacuum interconnection experimental station". The three provincial laboratories of Zijinshan, Suzhou and Taihu have continuously launched innovative achievements.
In 2021, the province initiated 1,526 provincial-level basic research projects, undertook 4,350 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, with a national funding of 2.45 billion yuan, ranking among the top in the country.
16 scientists were elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and 39 projects won national science and technology awards, ranking first among all provinces and autonomous regions in the country.
