The main dish: green technology
As one of the important trends in the future development of science and technology, green technology will dominate the stage of science and technology at the Shanghai World Expo.
The Expo will use solar energy on a large scale; public **** transportation in the park will achieve "zero emission", providing visitors with environmentally friendly and clean transportation services; the lighting system adopts energy-saving semiconductor systems; the Huangpu River water purified by physical and biological technologies and rainwater will be used for watering the park's greenery; and all kinds of living appliances and supplies in the Expo will be made of renewable energy. Living appliances and supplies are all made of renewable or biodegradable materials ......
However, in order to focus on the experience of green environmental protection and energy-saving technologies, the various national pavilions competing for attention are definitely not to be missed. The Japanese pavilion, "Purple Silkworm Island," combines the most advanced environmental control and material technologies to maximize the use of the power of nature through technologies such as vertical hollow columns that collect sunlight and rainwater, providing visitors with a comfortable environment while reducing the impact on the environment.
The dandelion-like British Pavilion "Seed Sanctuary" for the first time in the building of large-scale use of transparent acrylic rods, each acrylic rod embedded with different plant seeds, and equipped with semiconductor lighting facilities. During the day, through the acrylic rods into the natural light makes the pavilion like a crystal and full of vitality of the living organism, at night, the inner light outside, the glittering "dandelion" let people think of.
The U.S. Pavilion has solved the problems of heat island effect, water loss and energy conservation through the use of highly reflective materials, rainwater seepage systems, new energy power supply systems, and sealed building maintenance structures.
In this year's World Expo, one of the major innovations is the "Urban Best Practices Area", where a variety of rare green ideas will also refresh visitors. "Bamboo house", "air tree", "passive house", "zero carbon museum", just listening to the name is enough to make people The names alone are enough to get people thinking.
Creative dish: artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence research has always been one of the hotspots of scientific research in various countries, and artificial intelligence technology represented by robots will become a major attraction of the Shanghai World Expo.
With the previous robotics technology is used to show different, this year's World Expo, more countries will be used for robotics reception or display guide, with robots "supporting the face" is becoming a trend. During the Expo, 37 "Haibao" robot will become a big star in the Expo Park, for the majority of Expo visitors to carry out special services, including information counseling, welcome services, conversation and interaction and provide shooting services.
The simulation robot mascot "NAO" in the Paris pavilion can not only talk, dance and play tai chi, but also has a high degree of artificial intelligence due to the dense sensors, cameras and microphones on its body, which can be used to educate the children, guardianship of the elderly and other complex tasks. At the Shanghai World Expo, NAO will be responsible for ushering in visitors and communicating with them in Chinese, English and French.
Japan's cute baby-faced robot "Wakamaru" has also taken on the task of hosting the Japan Pavilion at this year's World Expo, greeting visitors, shaking hands, and forecasting the weather is "a piece of cake" for him. When power is insufficient, "Wakamaru" will also go to the charger to recharge, reducing the need for human care.
At the same time, some countries and companies have launched a special function of the robot, such as Japan's Toyota will show a kind of will play the violin partner robot, highly flexible hand and wrist control is the robot's biggest point of view. Italy's garbage removal robot can distinguish between various categories of garbage, is a useful attempt at intelligent waste disposal.
In addition, the display of intelligent living is also eye-opening. Germany will launch a home central control solutions, through the touch screen, people sitting on the sofa can be completed to open and close doors and windows, switch TV, audio, real-time tracking of household appliances, etc.. Japan's Panasonic will show the "living wall" can be realized in the living room wall and the integration of the TV, people only need to intuitively operate through the action, you can watch a variety of exciting content.
Featured dishes: new media display technology
In this year's World Expo, 3D virtual imaging technology as an important representative of the new media technology instead of a large number of physical displays, it realizes and restores many of the no physical or physical can not be implemented display, a great saving of space, materials, transportation and other human and material resources. Many of the achievements of the Expo Science and Technology Achievement Exhibition are presented through virtual imaging, video and interactive sensing devices, so that the visiting activities set a sense of immersion, interactive experience and entertainment in one.
In the new media technology display program of the Expo, the "Time Tunnel" leads the audience to enter the golden main exhibition hall through the red pipeline, the pipeline is equipped with adjustable speed of the automatic sidewalks, overhead and on both sides of the virtual image of the space nebulae that is facing backward, through the vibration, sound and other auxiliary means, the audience as if they were The audience is like entering a time tunnel through vibration, sound and other aids.
"Swire space" using a large spherical projection of 360-degree panoramic dynamic image, through the glass bridge set up in the curved sphere, so that the audience into the exhibition hall feel themselves floating in space. The "World Classic Sculpture Hall" with virtual imaging technology does not have any sculptures, only empty sculpture platforms, but the audience can watch these empty world classic sculptures through a magical small video board.
In the science and technology exhibition area of the Korean Pavilion, put on the 3D glasses, "Chinese characters and Korean language", "dragon kites and shield kites", "red lanterns and green lanterns" as the theme of the three-dimensional video will come into view. The three-dimensional video will come into view, showing the close connection between Chinese and Korean cultures in an interesting way.
