Robots activated in Xi'an

The Beilin district government of Xi’an, capital of Shaanxi province, signed an agreement with Avic Creation Robot Company on key robot industrial development projects on Sunday.

The company was launched by the China Aviation Industry Group especially for the development of artificial intelligence including three core products of medical robots, service robots and military robots.

The company’s core research and development arm, Xi’an Novoskeleton Robot Technology Co., Ltd., was established in April, 2017 in Beilin district and successfully developed China's first and internationally leading lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot.

With the product, Xi’an Novoskeleton became a new research and development enterprise for civil-military integration.

The Beilin government had offered substantial support to encourage the project to settle down in the district.

Chu Guosong, chairman of Avic Creation Robot Company, said that service provided by the local government shortened the original product development time from one year to four months.

“We are very willing to continue to develop in the Beilin district, because there is a wealth of scientific education resources and great potential for development,” Chu added.

The two sides said they will cooperate more closely to further develop the robot industry and to realize industrialization of medical, service and military robots.
