This is an era of high-speed industrialization. The concept of “innovation and invention†has been gradually accepted by middle school students and put into practice. This winter vacation, the technical vocabulary that Chinese middle school students hang on their lips is "robot." On February 1st, the FTC China North China Competition was held at Tsinghua University. 46 teams showed their robots on the spot and staged a wonderful confrontation match.
The FTC Tech Challenge is a top international robotic event for 14-18 year old high school students. The event organizer FIRST is a non-profit organization founded by the famous American inventor Dean Carmen (the inventor of the power balance car Segway Segway). As a wireless technology company consisting of scientists, inventors and engineers, Qualcomm's long-term volunteer service and financial support for FIRST events is currently a strategic partner of the organization.
The competition for this competition is extremely fierce. In the end, the team of Beijing Shunyi Niulanshan No. 1 Middle School, Beijing No. 2 Middle School, and Beijing Chen Jinglun Middle School won the “Enlightenment Awardâ€. The competition also selected other awards.
Qualcomm provided a number of support for the competition. Wang Xiang, senior vice president and president of Greater China at Qualcomm, said, “Is it possible to effectively encourage young people to cultivate inspiration and enthusiasm for science, engineering and invention from a young age and train them through the team? Collaboration to discover problems and use technology to solve problems will determine whether we can continue the pace of technological innovation and subversion, and will determine whether we and our next generation can live in a smarter future driven by technology." In his speech, Wang Xiang also advocated “inventing togetherâ€. When introducing the history of Qualcomm, he said, “The growth of Qualcomm comes from invention, innovation and subversion. As a technology adventurer and pioneer, we are always committed to large-scale R&D investment. In the past 30 years since its establishment, Qualcomm has accumulated more than US$32.8 billion in R&D investment. Among the global innovation rankings, Qualcomm is among the best.â€

At the media conference, Dr. Hou Jilei, R&D Director of Qualcomm China, also presented Qualcomm's latest innovations and innovations, and highlighted how the company uses mobile technologies including connectivity, mobile processing, sensing, machine learning, computer vision, and Innovation and accumulation in location awareness to promote the development of robotics. Among the machine learning, Dr. Hou Jilei also introduced Qualcomm Zeroth brain-inspired computing. This innovation has been reviewed by MIT Technology Review 2014. The world's top ten breakthrough technologies are the Qualcomm R&D team that has been working for the past few years. Developed, a new computing architecture that breaks through the traditional model. Qualcomm hopes to create a new computing processor that mimics the human brain and nervous system, enabling the terminal to have embedded cognitive knowledge driven by the brain.

In addition, Qualcomm and FIRST jointly held the "FTC Qualcomm Small Reporter Contest" in the northern finals. The Qualcomm said that the purpose of holding the "Little Journalist" is to make the FTC's "inspiration and understanding of science and technology." "And noble professionalism" affects more Chinese youth. Students and their mentors who won the "Little Reporter's Contest" will join the FTC China's final winning team in the 2015 FIRST Championship Finals in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, as a special correspondent.
