Driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation, the world is ushering in a new round of information technology revolution. The direction of global technological development, industrial competition pattern, and social organizational structure are undergoing significant changes. The development of intelligent unmanned systems is becoming an important entry point and growth point for the industrial revolution. It will serve as an important indicator of a country's technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level, and will occupy a pivotal position in many fields such as the national economy, healthcare, national defense and security.
Intelligent unmanned systems integrate numerous disciplines and cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, control, computer, electronics, machinery, and network information transmission, with the aim of serving people and society. They have high intelligence and can adapt to changing environments and needs, which is the trend of future intelligent unmanned system development. As the most practical and showcasing intelligent unmanned system in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), it has received widespread and high attention from countries around the world.
Intelligent unmanned systems are essential facilities in many fields, including industry, aerospace, high-speed railways, transportation logistics, healthcare, social services, ocean exploration, and many other fields. At present, China is at an important turning point in the application and related technology research of intelligent unmanned systems. There is a certain gap between the core and key technologies related to intelligent unmanned systems, as well as various application research, and the international advanced level, which is also the main bottleneck for China to carry out the industrialization of intelligent unmanned systems.
In 2017, in response to major national needs and in combination with the school's exploration of new ideas in disciplinary development, personnel integration, and research team building, Tsinghua University was officially establishedCenter for Intelligent Autonomous Systems,Tsinghua University,
This center is a virtual interdisciplinary research institution at Tsinghua University. The center is affiliated with the Automation Department, and the co established departments include the Computer Department, Mechanical Department, Automotive Department, Medical School, and Chemical Department.
The Intelligent Unmanned System Research Center, guided by the research on the core technology of intelligent unmanned system, aims to improve the innovation ability and development level of key related disciplines such as control science and engineering, computer science and technology, mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering, Biomedical engineering, Chemical engineering, and promote the process of building the university into a world-class discipline. The Intelligent Unmanned System Center is aimed at objects such as unmanned aerial vehicle systems, unmanned vehicle systems, space robot systems, underwater intelligent unmanned systems, special robots and equipment, and intelligent service robots. We strive to build our research center into a research highland in the field of intelligent unmanned systems in China, form a high-level national level intelligent unmanned system research team, and build on the multidisciplinary advantages of Tsinghua University, Serving the development of China's intelligent unmanned system industry, promoting the structural upgrading of China's manufacturing industry and fundamental changes in production methods.
Brain and Cognitive science explore the structure and function model, consciousness mechanism and intelligence essence of the brain, reveal the materiality, spirituality and close coupling mechanism of the brain, which is the ultimate challenge of human self-awareness and self transcendence.
Institute for Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Tsinghua University,THUIBCSFocusing on cross cutting frontier scientific issues, we gathered top talents at home and abroad to carry out multi-level, cross scale and systematic Research#Original research. Taking "brain engineering" as the starting point, construct a new multimodal and multi-scale brain observation and regulation technology system and architecture, leading the wave of technological innovation; Using "brain mechanism" as the focus, build a bridge connecting brain structure and function, study the loop mechanism of important brain functions at the micro, meso, and macro levels, and gather academic innovation consensus; Take "Cognitive science" as the breakthrough point, explore the intelligent characteristics of brain cognitive function, form a subversive computational Cognitive model, and build a theoretical innovation highland; "Cognitive computing" deeply studies the computing and Transfer learning mechanism of cognitive intelligence, and focuses on breaking the bottleneck of brain like computing paradigm and architecture; Brain Health focuses on conducting pathological research on neurological and psychiatric brain diseases, with a focus on tackling the challenges of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other diseases.
The research institute adheres to the core positioning of "international frontier intersection" and is led by 8 academicians from China, the United States, and Europe to form a team of chief scientists, gathering scientists and innovative resources from top international educational and research institutions such as Stanford University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge University, Carnegie Mellon University, Imperial College of Technology, and the National Institutes of Health in the United States; Establish an international joint research center for brain and cognition, and establish centers for interdisciplinary research in brain science, brain intelligence, brain health, and advanced imaging; To recruit doctoral and postdoctoral students in brain science, Cognitive science, medicine, Information science and other fields globally.
