🎬Video
The industrial compound mobile robot, enhanced by the capabilities of the Antelope Industrial Large Model in understanding computations, generating industrial code, and processing industrial text, can perform task comprehension, decomposition, instruction generation, and other operations through applications such as industrial task splitting, path code planning, and industrial object detection and image segmentation within a natural language interaction model. This further enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of industrial robots.

Baidu Apollo V2X Vehicle-Road Cooperative Technology Model Construction and Validation
Website
Contribution & Results: we developed a safety model based on two scenarios: ring road conflicts and unprotected left turns, and evaluated the safety performances in both individual vehicle intelligence and V2X scenarios. The results indicate that V2X improved safety metrics by 30% to 90%.
Result: In collaboration with Baidu, contributed to the release of the first Chinese white paper on vehicle-road cooperative technology: Key technologies and prospects of vehicle-road collaboration for autonomous driving.
