To boost the new quality productivity to accelerate the "mine entry", Yikong Intelligent Driving brought the Mountain 2.0 to the World Artificial Intelligence Conference

On July 4, the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-level Conference on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence kicked off at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. At a time when AI is empowering global industrial development on a large scale, this conference has become an authoritative platform to showcase the cutting-edge technologies of artificial intelligence in China and the world, and has reached a record high in terms of exhibition scale, number of exhibitors, number of highlight exhibits, and number of new products debuted.

As a leader in the field of unmanned mining and a practitioner of new quality productivity, Yikong Intelligent Driving appeared at the international AI event for the first time as an exhibitor, and participated in roundtable forums such as "Investment and Financing Empowering the Development of Artificial Intelligence Industry" and "AI-driven Industrial Innovation: Exploring New Paths for Technology Integration and Industrial Upgrading" as an important guest. On the second day after the opening of the conference, Yikong Intelligent Driving released a new generation of unmanned transportation solution for open-pit mines, "Zhushan 2.0", once again achieving a milestone breakthrough in the commercialization of unmanned mines.

Professor Zhao Zhiguo, Deputy Dean of the School of Automotive Engineering of Tongji University, Associate Professor Qian Yeqiang of the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and dozens of experts, scholars and partners from universities, enterprises and investment institutions such as Northeastern University and Liaoning Technical University attended and witnessed the birth of "Zhushan 2.0".

Lin Qiao, Vice President of Intelligent Driving Strategy, said, "Artificial intelligence has played an important role in promoting the intelligent transformation of the mining industry. Based on artificial intelligence's deep learning, machine vision and other technologies, Zhushan 2.0 has realized accurate perception, intelligent decision-making and efficient operation of mines, and has entered the stage of large-scale replication and application. Yikong looks forward to working with more partners to promote the application of artificial intelligence in the field of unmanned mining and promote the intelligent upgrading of the mining industry. ”

Six features + platform upgrades, the Zhushan 2.0 program reshapes the intelligent milestone of mines

After six years of development, Yikong Intelligent Driving has accumulated 11.6 million km mileage, provided massive scene data for unmanned driving algorithms, and built a deep foundation for R&D and engineering implementation.

Compared with Zhushan 1.0, the Zhushan 2.0 solution released this time applies the latest generation of AI technology in a more in-depth manner, adopts BEV+Transformer+OCC multi-modal perception prediction technology and applies large models to achieve efficient and automatic annotation of massive data, and realizes six characteristics of being more intelligent, more flexible, more accurate, more comprehensive, more efficient and easier to use, and has the ability of mixed scheduling of manned + unmanned mining trucks in ultra-large-scale open-pit mines, and the smooth operation of mixed manned + unmanned mining trucks. As a result, it covers a variety of open-pit mines such as coal mines, limestone mines, and metal mines, as well as smooth and efficient operation capabilities in complex environments such as rain, fog, snow, coal ash, and dust.

In a word, Zhushan 1.0 solves the problem of whether there is a driverless transportation scheme for open-pit mines "from 0 to 1", and Zhushan 2.0 brings a truly efficient and easy-to-use cross-era product to the industry.

Focusing on the cutting-edge technology of artificial intelligence, unmanned driving boosts the development of new productivity in open-pit mines

In recent years, the development of unmanned mining has also entered a period of speeding up and shifting, and how to empower the mining industry with science and technology to make it less and unmanned, so as to achieve high-quality development of the mining industry, has become a proposition left to the unmanned mining industry in this era. After 6 years of deep cultivation, Yikong Intelligent Driving has been at the forefront of the field of unmanned driving in mines.

As of June 2024, there have been 617 unmanned vehicles with a cumulative mileage of 11.6 million kilometers, and the normalized operation without safety personnel has undergone more than 1,000 days of reliability verification. It has successfully built the country's first all-mine new energy unmanned smart mine benchmark project, and realized the 7*24-hour normal operation of more than 200 of the world's largest unmanned unmanned fleet of single mines. At present, Econ has entered many of the top ten open-pit coal mines in China, and has established in-depth cooperation with top mining enterprises such as China Energy Group, State Power Investment Group, TBEA, Zijin Mining, etc., and reached strategic cooperation with Australia's largest mining contractor, continuing to explore the domestic market while accelerating the layout of global business, accelerating the pace of opening the "second growth curve".

Nowadays, the country is vigorously promoting the application and development of artificial intelligence technology in the field of mining production, and the smart mining industry has ushered in a new stage of rapid development. Unmanned mining is an important part of the smart mining industry. As domestic companies represented by Yikong Intelligent Driving develop more mature technologies and practice more feasible business cases, we believe that the application of unmanned driving technology in mines will also usher in a new era of rapid development.
