Terminus Group, a leading global provider of smart services and AIoT solutions provider, has joined hands with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to launch the first Edge Computing Laboratory in Chongqing municipality, aiming at promoting scientific research and development in the fields of edge intelligence and computing services, low carbon technology, urban Internet of Things (IoT) operations. The laboratory's mission extends to enabling the progress of major national projects, formulating national technical standards, fostering industrial-applied talent cultivation, boosting innovative ecological industries and digital economy development, and exploring edge computing implementation driven by LLMs technology in the Terminus Chongqing AI CITY.
Launch ceremony of the Chongqing Edge Computing Laboratory jointly established by Terminus Group and the Chinese Academy of Sciences
The launch of the Chongqing Edge Computing Laboratory, marks a pivotal step toward the development and application of cloud-edge-end models in various urban scenarios, which will help create more concrete and applicable domain models, and will enable digital economy and green and smart progress nationwide.
Operationally, the Chongqing Edge Computing Laboratory will be jointly managed and developed by Terminus Group and Chongqing Academy.
The two sides will develop scenario-oriented edge computing services, promote the landing of large models at the edge, develop a cloud and edge collaborative smart urban Internet of Things platform, create an ubiquitous operating system ecosystem, strengthen algorithm R&D of pre-training large models in CV/NLP and other fields, promote the development of solutions in the fields of IoT and smart energy, create a comprehensive low carbon platform for regional carbon detection, decision-making assistance, and industrial application, and jointly explore the technical solutions implementation in new energy, energy storage system's safety assessment, energy life span prediction, electricity price prediction, etc.
Additionally, Terminus Group and Chongqing Academy will cooperate in various scientific research fund projects applications, scientific and technical breakthroughs, and technical standard formulation. Based on the newly launched Laboratory, the two sides will enhance talent cultivation and collaborations between academia and industry.
The Laboratory consists of a big data foundational theory team, an edge computing key technical research team, and an application system technical research and implementation demonstration team, which will include the sectors of smart city, smart agriculture, smart ecology, and smart vehicles.
On the occasion of the launch ceremony of the Laboratory, a further agreement was reached by Terminus Group and Chongqing Academy on their cooperation. The Chongqing Edge Computing Laboratory also reached an agreement with the Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission Special Committee of the China Association of Building Energy Efficiency and the Shanghai Chongqing Institute of Artificial Intelligence, to promote the implementation of edge computing in vertical scenarios such as communication, multiple interacting intelligent agents, and public management.
In recent years, Terminus Group has developed a series of edge-oriented intelligent hardware and services, including environmental and energy management equipment, efficient computing equipment, AGI robots, etc. In recent years, the Terminus Titan Robot had already provided different functions such as offline catering, pandemic prevention and sterilization, patrol inspection, and inquiry services for Expo 2020 Dubai, and achieved group multi-smart machine collaboration, enabling smart operation and innovative management during the event.
Furthermore, Terminus Group has participated in major national scientific and technical projects led by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Victor AI, Founder and CEO of Terminus Group, said that Terminus will continue to promote urban digitalization through advanced scientific research platforms like the Chongqing Edge Computing Laboratory. This, he added, will enable a technology-driven and sustainable future in collaboration with partners nationwide and worldwide.
