1. China Successfully Launched Satellites 01”«06 of the Experimental Satellite 27

On April 19, 2025, China successfully launched Satellites 01”«06 of the Experimental Satellite 27 into space, using the Long March 6A carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The satellites smoothly entered their predetermined orbits, and the launch mission was a complete success. These satellites are mainly used for space environment detection and related technical experiments.

This mission marks the 570th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets.

2. New Breakthrough: 19 Years Old Patient Accurately Controls Black Myth: Wukong with Brain-Computer Interface

With the support of the Tianqiao Institute of Brain Science (TCCI), the high precision real time motion decoding clinical trial jointly carried out by Brain-Tiger Technology and the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology has achieved another important breakthrough. A 19 years old patient with right frontal lobe epilepsy has successfully implanted the 256-channel flexible brain-computer interface independently developed by Brain-Tiger Technology. The patient has recovered well after the operation and successfully entered the clinical trial two days later.

Through 19.87 hours of training, the subject has achieved precise brain-controlled operation of classic games such as Pac-Man and Tank Battle, and large - scale complex games such as Honor of Kings and Black Myth: Wukong. Moreover, based on the XessOS brain-computer operating system independently developed by Brain-Tiger Technology, the subject can smoothly access the Internet and operate various Apps (such as Bilibili and Xiaohongshu) through thoughts, and control intelligent wheelchairs and smart home devices (such as lights and curtains), which significantly improves the independent living ability of the group with motor function impairment.

3. 2 Hours, 40 Minutes and 42 Seconds! The Champion of the World's First Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon is Born

On April 19th, the world's first humanoid robot half - marathon, the Beijing Yizhuang Half - Marathon and Humanoid Robot Half - Marathon, kicked off. 20 humanoid robot teams and running enthusiasts started from the starting line together, challenging the limit on the 21.0975 - kilometer - long track. Eventually, "Tian Gong" crossed the finish line with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds, winning the championship of the world's first humanoid robot half - marathon event.

4. Hainan University Develops Globally Leading Brain - Computer Interface Chips

Hainan University officially released its self - developed core technologies and series of products for implantable brain - computer interfaces at the 5th China International Consumer Products Fair. These include globally leading dedicated chips, a neural signal acquisition system, a regulation system, and a neuron positioning system.

The Brain-Computer Chip Neural Engineering Team of Hainan University has developed several types of core chips for invasive brain-computer interfaces, including the SX-R128S4 high throughput neural signal acquisition and stimulation chip, the SX-S32 high freedom degree neural regulation chip, and the SX-WD60 low power wireless transmission chip. The above mentioned chips achieve full link coverage of brain - computer interface signal acquisition, regulation, and transmission, and their performance is on a par with international first - line products.

5. BYD Sealion 07 DM-i Intelligent Driving Edition Pre-sale Opens

The pre-sale of the new mid to large -size SUV Sealion 07 DM-i Intelligent Driving Edition of BYD Ocean Network has officially started. The new car offers three models with a pre - sale price range of 189,800 yuan to 229,800 yuan. As the brand's first luxury intelligent SUV integrating "intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, drone, and comfort configurations", the Sealion 07 DM-i Intelligent Driving Edition is equipped with hardcore technologies such as the Sky Eye high order intelligent driving system, the fifth generation DM hybrid technology, and the Yunluan-C intelligent chassis as standard. Moreover, it brings the in - car drone system into the mainstream market for the first time at the 200,000-yuan level, creating a new benchmark for full scenario intelligent travel in the era of "equal price for oil and electricity" for family users.
