China’s top EV maker BYD kicks off robotics recruitment drive for young talent


China’s top electric vehicle maker BYD is conducting a new mass recruitment drive for robotics talent to staff its embodied intelligence (EI) unit, in a sign that the company is doubling down on robot-related research.
The Shenzhen-based company posted a global recruitment ad on the Chinese social media platform WeChat, describing job openings for 10 types of senior engineers in areas including sensory algorithms, robotics, and software. BYD did not specify how many people it will recruit.

The company did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.

The jobs are open to fresh graduates with master’s or doctorate degrees in mechanics, automation, computation, mathematics and electronics information. Workers can be posted in Shenzhen, Hefei or Changsha.

BYD’s EI research team, created in 2022, is engaged in developing various types of robotic bodies and systems, with a stated goal of improving robots’ decision-making capabilities and advancing EI applications in industrial use.

The team has already developed various types of collaborative robots, mobile robots, and humanoid robots, among other products, according to BYD.

EI, which enables machine systems to interact with physical environments, is the technology behind humanoid robots, and BYD is one of the Chinese Big Tech firms increasing investment in the field.
As an industrial giant with state-of-art manufacturing, BYD is trying to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics into its products. Founder Wang Chuanfu said last month that the company would invest 100 billion yuan (US$13.7 billion) into integrating AI with automotive technology.

BYD last month announced recruiting for its logistics robot team.

China has surpassed Germany and Japan in adoption of industrial robots, according to the latest report from the International Federation of Robotics, after years of pushing for greater use of automation in manufacturing.
Local government officials across China have rushed to introduce policies that incentivise the deployment of robots, especially humanoid robots, as policymakers in Beijing recently showed commitment to the industry at the tone-setting central economic work conference.

The cities of Hangzhou, Chongqing and Nanjing, plus part of southwestern Sichuan province, have released policies to accelerate robotics innovation and the “concentration of business entities” involved, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported on Thursday.

Citi Global Insights analysts forecast that nearly 650 million humanoid robots could be working alongside humans by 2050, with the market for these robots reaching US$7 trillion by that year.

  STMicro Unveils 6-axis IMU with Embedded Sensor Fusion and AI Among the most fundamental trends in the consumer electronics industry today is the proliferation of sensors . For applications such the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and AR/VR, sensing has been a core technology. As devices become embedded with more and more sensors , system developers face about how to best handle and fuse that data into a useful format. To address this issue,  STMicroelectronics (ST) has recently released  a new 6-axis IMU which includes a number of integrated features such as sensor fusion blocks and Machine Learning (ML) cores.   1st Editional of International Research Awards on Sensing Technology | 23-24 Jan 2023 | India Abstract Submission:  https://x-i.me/gaycon Award Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaynom Member Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaymem Visit:http://sensors-conferences.sciencefather.com/ For Enquiries: sensors@sciencefather.com

Temperature Sensors

  Temperature Sensors: A temperature sensor is an electronic device that measures the temperature of its environment and converts the input data into electronic data to record, monitor, or signal temperature changes. There are many different types of temperature sensors. Some temperature sensors require   direct contact   with the physical object that is being monitored (contact temperature sensors), while others indirectly measure the temperature of an object (non-contact temperature sensors).   Non-contact temperature sensors are usually infrared (IR) sensors. They remotely detect the IR energy emitted by an object and send a signal to a calibrated electronic circuit that determines the object's temperature. Among the contact temperature sensors are  thermocouples and thermistors . A thermocouple is comprised of two conductors, each made of a different type of metal, that  are joined at an end  to ...

  What are Sensors, Detectors, and Transducers? Sensor/Detectors/Transducers are electrical, opto-electrical , or electronic devices composed of specialty electronics or otherwise sensitive materials , for determining if there is a presence of a particular entity or function. Many types of sensors , detectors, and transducers are available including those for detecting a physical presence such as flame , metals , leaks , levels, or gas and chemicals , among others. Some are designed to sense physical properties such as temperature, pressure, or radiation , while others can detect motion or proximity . They operate in a variety of manners depending on the application and may include electromagnetic fields, or optics, among others. Many applications over a wide range of industries use sensors, detectors, and transducers of many kinds to test, measure, and control various processes and machine functions. With the advent of the  Internet of Things (IoT) , the need for sensors...
