Role for robots in Baoshan revamp
Print Edition
BAOSHAN District plans to convert derelict industrial container yards and warehouses along Metro Line 1 into creative parks, offices and museums — and even a robot research center, officials said yesterday.
The district government will cooperate with Shanghai University and Qingdao-based Haier Group to create the center, focusing on the development of robots with artificial intelligence.
The 1 million square-meter Baoshan area along Line 1’s seven stations between Gongkang and Fujin roads is home to more than a dozen state-owned warehouses that once housed silk, cotton, fruit, iron and steel. One of Shanghai’s biggest container yards is also in the area.
The district government planned to eliminate old industrial sites especially those that might cause pollution or present a safety risk, and replace them with innovative and startup enterprises, Xia Yu, deputy director with the district told a press conference.
Some warehouses and container yards would be converted into office space. Walking paths, sports facilities such as soccer fields, and gardens would be built in the former container yards. Construction had started on some of the facilities.
“The government aims to attract at least 10,000 innovative and startup enterprises to the area named No.1 Innovation Belt by the end of the year,” Xia added. The innovation belt would be fully established by the end of 2017 when all the old industrial buildings and yards would have been replaced by creative parks.
China’s first 3D print museum will open to the public tomorrow in Wisdom Bay, one of the first batch of creative parks in the belt, to exhibit the country’s cutting-edge three dimensional print technologies.
