From intelligent robots to future travel devices, from precision medical technology to environmental protection and energy-saving solutions, every achievement demonstrates the power and charm of technology. Follow in the footsteps of our reporter, explore together the innovative works that lead the future, and witness together the brilliant crystallization of human wisdom!
Unmanned 'Air Taxi'
The M1 eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) manned real aircraft of Yufeng Future has flown into the 7th China International Import Expo in 2024, marking the first public appearance of the M1 manned real aircraft in the world.
As the largest exhibit of this year's CIIE, the Yufeng Future M1 is dressed in a simple and atmospheric black and white paint, with a wingspan of 15 meters, a body length of 10 meters, and a seagull style hatch. According to the introduction, "Compared with last year, the manned M1eVTOL showcased this year has upgraded its interior cabin, allowing live audiences to experience the new lifestyle of flying to and from work in the future up close." The cabin space is spacious, accommodating 5 people, and also has three spacious luggage spaces in the front, middle, and rear, which is very practical.
It uses pure electric energy and a composite wing configuration, equipped with 4 front pull rotors and 16 vertical rotors, with a takeoff weight of 2.5 tons. It can achieve fully autonomous unmanned flight without the need for a runway for takeoff and landing, and can fly 250 kilometers on a single charge, with a cruising speed of 200 kilometers per hour. The M1 eVTOL manned version of the real aircraft was extremely popular at the China International Import Expo (CIIE), and has already received 100 intended orders at the event, with a total amount exceeding 1 billion yuan, achieving great success.
In the "air taxi" track, in addition to Yufeng Future, three companies including Shide Technology, Volant, and Lanyi Airlines also participated in this year's CIIE. At present, the "air taxi" products of these companies are in different stages such as unmanned test flights and cargo test flights.
Scud "intelligent power" shoes "you fly
The first to debut at the China International Import Expo was also the American company, Momentum Technology. They brought the world's first intelligent powered shoe (also known as a "robot shoe") that allows people to walk at running speed, the Moonwalkers Aero, to the Asian exhibition site for the first time, making the wish of "being one step faster and walking as fast as flying" a reality.
When our reporter put on this pair of "intelligence shoes" weighing 1.9 kilograms on site, walking not only saved effort, but also accelerated a lot, like skating, silky smooth and enjoyable.
The appearance of this product looks like a pair of lace up sandals with wheels, using an adaptive AI power system. Simply place your foot on the moon walker, fasten the elastic band, and start. The 350W brushless DC motor hidden in the sole can drive the wheels to run, allowing you to walk faster at the speed of running. Zhang Xunjie, CEO and founder of Sunac Technology, stated that the Moonwalker shoes allow the wearer to move smoothly at a maximum speed of 11.3 kilometers per hour, and can travel 11.3 kilometers on a single full charge. Moonwalkers Aero is 0.4 kilograms lighter than the previous generation Moonwalkers and can be charged to 80% in just 30 minutes.
Moonwalkers Aero has reduced the noise level from 75 decibels to 60 decibels, which means people can glide through the city with minimal interference, "Zhang Xunjie told reporters. With the platform of the CIIE, Chinese consumers can not only see this new product with their own eyes, but also truly own it.
It is understood that the current price of Moonwalkers Aero is $1199. Chinese consumers will be able to purchase the Aero for approximately 8676 yuan and the Moonwalkers for approximately 7591 yuan in Chinese yuan through the SHIFT official website.
Lunar rover tires take you on a 'flying' moon tour
The over 500 square meter Michelin Adventure themed exhibition booth showcases a variety of highlights. A non inflatable tire developed for a lunar rover showcases Michelin's ambition for space exploration. This is our product for the future, and Michelin hopes to participate in space exploration operations as soon as possible to help establish permanent settlements for humans on the moon and Mars, "Serge Godefroid, General Manager of Michelin China R&D Center, told our reporter.
Our reporter carefully observed and touched the high-tech tire with their hand. It is a deep blue color with a hard plastic texture, and feels relatively smooth to the touch.
This tire must be able to withstand extreme temperature differences of over 100 ℃ and -240 ℃, relying on the innovative properties of the composite to withstand the soft and rugged lunar surface, maintain excellent grip and stability, maximize wear resistance, and withstand millions of deformation cycles while maintaining its mechanical stability. So far, we have been continuously developing and searching for answers, and we believe that in the near future, this tire will land on the surface of the moon for functional testing, "said Gao Dehua.
Stress reliever, helping you unleash yourself
In previous editions of the CIIE, Canadian health sleep technology company Air Nutri Solution Inc. built a "stress relieving sleep cabin" at the exhibition site, allowing many participants to quickly enter a sweet dream with the support of charged particles (NAI chips) and charged particle wave technology.
At this year's CIIE, Air Nutri Solution Inc. Deep Sleep Cabin and Happiness Brain (Hainan) Health Technology Co., Ltd. jointly launched the world's first "Happiness Brain Stress Management System".
A device for improving learning and work efficiency of the Happiness Brain Stress Management System
Improving sleep equipment
This system is based on neuroscience, combined with the core product of the stress relief and sleep machine, to create a microenvironment with the advantage of load electric particles. Combined with stress management courses, it provides personalized stress management, learning and training practical solutions for young students, achieving functions such as improving learning focus, relieving anxiety, regulating emotions, relieving stress, and improving sleep.
