At the event, 30 robotics cooperation deals worth a combined 5.2 billion yuan, or about 779 million U.S. dollars, were signed, according to the organizers. The underwater designs, modeled on jellyfish, are intended to monitor aquatic ecosystems with minimal disturbance. Developers of the prototype flying car said it could cut disaster-response times from hours to minutes. The exhibits also included Dudu, a visitor-guide robot developed by Jiangsu Nanda Electronics, a Nanjing University-affiliated company, in partnership with Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo. The CMG event brought together more than 100 robots from over 50 technology companies. Southeast University presented a miniature snake-like robot, designed to navigate blood vessels during surgery. Hohai University showed a spider-like inspection robot that its developers said can detect cracks as narrow as 0.5 millimeters in water pipes. Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics displayed another inspection robot designed to move through pipes in confined spaces. Nanjing also announced 10 scenarios for robot applications, including smart manufacturing, safety inspections, tourism services and education-industry collaboration. The event marked the launch of Jiangning District's intelligent industrial robotics cluster and a provincial consortium linking robotics companies with educational institutions.
