[Reporter Fang Weijie/Taipei Report] Industrial computer manufacturer Youtai Technology (6928) continues to deepen the layout of artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent unmanned systems. The AI R&D center located in the Sharon Artificial Intelligence Industry Zone in Tainan was officially opened today. In the future, it will focus on strong The two major research and development directions of solid AI edge control system and AI multi-vehicle collaborative control combine the existing rugged computing, ground control system and satellite communication technology to accelerate the implementation of AI applications, and connect the research and development energy of the two bases in Taipei and Tainan to expand the global market.
Youtai pointed out that the Sharon AI R&D Center will take the rugged AI edge control system and AI multi-vehicle collaborative control as its core, integrate the existing ground control system (GCS), satellite communications and information security protection and other technical foundations, and expand related applications of AI and smart unmanned systems. At the same time, the accumulated technical achievements of each product line and project are gradually transformed into extensible and integrable platform capabilities, promoting technology from research and development and verification to productization and actual field application.
Jian Minzhi, chairman of Youtai, said that the official opening of the Sharon AI R&D Center is an important part of the company's overall R&D layout and a new starting point to further connect the R&D energies of the north and the south. Starting from the industrial computer industry, Youtai has been deeply involved in rugged computing for a long time, and gradually extended its capabilities to ground control systems, satellite communications and various mission-critical applications.
Jian Minzhi pointed out that as AI accelerates into more practical application fields, the importance of computing, communication, control and system integration continues to increase. In the future, we will deepen our core technologies and jointly innovate with ecosystem partners through cross-domain cooperation, from products, platforms to solutions, to enhance customer value and consolidate Utech's positioning as a provider of mission-critical connection solutions.
In terms of R&D resource layout, Youtai responded to the Great Southern New Silicon Valley promotion plan and entered the Sharon Artificial Intelligence Industry Zone, using Tainan as a new R&D node to connect the Taipei headquarters and Tainan base. It also uses the AI R&D, industry and academic research resources gathered in Sharon to promote technical exchanges, joint development and application verification, and expand cross-field cooperation.
Xie Yanpeng, general manager of Youtai, said that the focus of establishing an R&D center is not only to increase R&D space or introduce new technologies, but more importantly, to accumulate capabilities so that R&D can be closer to market demand. The company hopes to systematize the experience accumulated from different products and projects in the past, connect more industry and academic research partners through the Sharon platform, and ultimately return to solving customer problems, forming products and creating practical results.
Looking into the future, Youtai said that as AI applications extend from cloud computing power to edges and physical fields, unmanned systems, satellite communications and mission-critical applications have increasingly higher requirements for real-time computing, reliable communications, information security protection and system resilience. The company will continue to integrate rugged computing, communications and system integration capabilities, focusing on AI, intelligent unmanned systems and satellite communications, and use the advantages of Taiwan's R&D and Taiwan manufacturing to promote related products and solutions to the global market.
