Entrepreneurs work on innovative inventions to make life better

When Wang Wenxin presented his undergraduate entrepreneur project on a sludge cleaning robot to Nobel and Turing Award laureates in competition with cutting-edge inventions from worldwide experienced researchers, he was nervous but confident.

"Their projects are at the forefront of technological innovation. But we still have our own advantage of focusing on addressing weak links in city infrastructure and having great development potential," Wang said on the sidelines of the Global Final of Seed Award 2019, which ended recently in Shenzhen, Guangdong province.

His student team managed to create a low-cost robot that could clean the sludge blocking tunnel and sewer systems, helping solve the problem of water-logging in many cities.
