Research Project

  • International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Platform

    Global Innovation eXchange Institute (GIX) undertook the construction of the "International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Platform" of the National Development and Reform Commission, focusing on scientific and technological innovation and attaching importance to the cultivation of interdisciplinary innovation and entrepreneurship students. The platform exerts its outstanding features of internationalization, projectization and integration, establishes a deep integration mechanism of multi-resources, and forms a new mode of training from interdisciplinary innovation and entrepreneurship training to project incubation, creating a demonstration base for cultivating leading talents with ability of strategic original innovation and entrepreneurship. The project construction covers global innovation intelligent space, global innovation training center, electromechanical design and experiment center, design simulation and data analysis software library and international innovation and entrepreneurial accelerator, etc. The aim is to establish a demonstration base for cultivating leading talents with ability of strategic original innovation and entrepreneurship in China and the United States.

  • Connected Devices and Intelligent Interaction

    Projects from Ministry of Education/Cernet and Technological Innovation Enterprises:

    1 Key technology and prototype development of on-vehicle terminals for smart land-based logistics:
    The goal is to develop an on-vehicle IoT terminal for the freight trucking industry, which can promote the transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry. Utilizing IoT technologies, this project enables the sensing of vehicles and freight in transit, and provides data support for truck monitoring.

    2 Wearable gesture tracking and interaction technology:
    Design a gesture tracking method that suitable for complex and varied interactive scenes, realizing a portable，high recognition rate, strong robustness，and hand-free hand shape reduction technology.

    3 Intelligent logistics IoT platform:
    The intelligent logistics IoT platform is designed for bulk commodity trade. Using connected technologies, we design smart weighing stations and on-vehicle terminals, which enables the automated and intelligent operation of the weighing stations. This increases the efficiency of the stations, and facilitates vehicular weight inspections.

    4 Intelligent algorithm and sensing techniques for clothing retail:
    This project predicts clothing sales for the clothing retail industry using AI algorithms. RFID tags enables the analysis and modeling of customer buying behavior and the optimization of store locations. This results in significantly reduced costs and increased efficiency for warehouse scheduling and retail management.

    5 Intelligent interactions for visually impaired smartphone users:
    Redefining the accessibility experience by designing blind people's text entry methods, adaptive haptic interfaces, and novel interaction techiniques (Ear Touch) , ect. according to the pain points of visually impaired users.

Research Center

  • Smart Education Innovation Technology Joint Research Center

    Tsinghua University (Global Innovation eXchange Institute) - Beijing Lanxum Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Education Technology Innovation was established in September 2018. The joint laboratory combines the advantage of Tsinghua GIX in scientific and technological innovation, interdisciplinary and international education with Lanxum's operating experience, channels and resources in education industry. The aim is to transform and upgrade the primary and secondary education application scene industry, to help educators systematically improve teaching quality and teaching evaluation methods, to help students improve learning efficiency, achieve personalized learning and promote the progress of Chinese education.

    Joint research tasks include:

    (1) Build an interdisciplinary knowledge map and intelligent learning system in the field of basic education;

    (2) Develop the next generation of high-immersion interactive intelligent education application solutions;

    (3) Develop an intelligent analysis and evaluation system for primary and secondary school education quality based on offline and online education scenarios.
     

The Global Innovation eXchange (GIX) is a global partnership between Tsinghua University and the University of Washington, with initial support from Microsoft, to develop leaders in innovation.
