1. World's First Deep-Sea Intelligent Fishery Farming Platform Sets Sail for Trial Voyage

The world's first deep-sea intelligent fishery farming platform "Zhanjiang Bay No.1" successfully set sail for trial voyage from Tongzhou Bay. This marks a successful exploration by Nantong's ship and marine engineering enterprises in modern and intelligent fishery farming models, filling the gap in deep-sea intelligent fishery farming in China and even the world.

"Zhanjiang Bay No.1" is the world's first floating dynamically positioned farming platform integrating multiple functions such as offshore semi-submersible farming, autonomous navigation and typhoon avoidance, green energy supply, and intelligent control. It is designed to navigate in unlimited navigation areas, with an overall length of 154 meters, a molded width of 44 meters, a molded depth of 24.25 meters, a maximum farming draft of 20 meters, and a farming water volume of 80,000 cubic meters, which is equivalent to the water volume of 32 standard swimming pools.

2. "Xinzhou" 60 Civil Search and Rescue Aircraft Completes Rescue Supplies Airdrop Test Flight

The "Xinzhou" 60 civil search and rescue aircraft developed by Aviation Industry Corporation of China successfully completed the aerial airdrop test flight mission of rescue supplies at Qingyang Airport in Gansu Province, achieving a key technological breakthrough. This marks another achievement in China's research, development and application of aviation emergency rescue equipment. After the flight verification over the airport, the aircraft successfully completed the smooth airdrop of rescue materials at an extremely challenging ultra-low altitude of 100 meters and at a speed of 125-145 knots.

3. Fourier Releases New Humanoid Robot GR-3: Capable of Trotting with Small Steps, Focusing on Interactive Companionship

Fourier has launched the interactive companion humanoid robot - GR-3. It is reported that Fourier GR-3 is 165 cm tall, weighs 55 kg, with a battery endurance of 3 hours . It is equipped with a full-sensory interaction system, integrating three perception modules: auditory, visual and tactile, to realize interactive functions such as sound source localization, visual following and tactile feedback. At the same time, it builds an attention management mechanism, which dynamically allocates perception priorities through multimodal interaction functions, completes the collaborative feedback of hands, eyes and brain, and realizes natural and smooth human-computer emotional communication.

In addition, GR-3 can support movements such as multi-style anthropomorphic gait walking, bending forward and backward, and trotting with small steps, fully simulating human movement patterns.

4. All-New Xpeng P7 Opens for Pre-orders, Equipped with Three Turing AI Chips Across the Entire Lineup

On August 6th, Xpeng Motors held the launch event "THE NEXT All-New Xpeng P7 · China Debut" in Beijing. The new car was officially unveiled and opened for pre-orders, with three models released: the 702km long-range version, the 820km ultra-long-range version, and the 750km high-performance version. Statistics show that the number of initial pre-orders for this new car exceeded 10,000 units just 6 minutes and 37 seconds after the pre-sale started.

The all-new Xpeng P7 is equipped with three self-developed Turing AI chips across the entire lineup, with the vehicle's effective computing power reaching 2250 TOPS, ranking first in the world. Two of them drive the intelligent driving VLA large model, endowing the car with the ability to understand and make active decisions; the other, in collaboration with the 8295P chip, drives the intelligent cabin VLM large model, making the car truly an AI partner that "understands you".

5. FAW-Volkswagen Audi Launches All-Electric Q6L e-tron

On August 7th, the new all-electric SUV Q6L e-tron family from FAW-Volkswagen Audi was officially launched. This model comes in two designs: one is a regular SUV, and the other is a sloped-roof coupe version. It features an ultra-long range of 765 kilometers, a China-exclusive extended wheelbase to create a luxurious space, optional sloped-roof coupe and standard designs, as well as a three-screen »¥Áª (three-screen interconnection) and Huawei's intelligent driving system, which reshape the electric travel experience.
