Shandong Commends 299 Tech Projects (Personnel) - Innovative Outcome Conversion Mode Highlights

Breakthroughs in Robot Safety and Security Technology

The 'Robot Skill Operation and Safety Cooperation Key Technology and Application' project, which won the first prize in the Shandong Province Science and Technology Awards, has made a breakthrough in the two major bottlenecks of 'robot environment adaptation' and 'task adaptation.' It has invented a multi-modal graded safety protection technology that integrates flexible electronic skin, achieving a stable detection distance of 20 cm and a safety speed of over 1 m/s. This technology has solved the problem of collision and secondary injury caused by traditional contact-type safety protection.

The team behind this project has been working with Shenzhen Yuetian Technology Co., Ltd. for nearly ten years, and the core breakthrough lies in enabling robots to 'adapt to complex environments and perform delicate operations.' The team's director, Song Rui, explained that the team has iterated the technology from the initial borrowing of foreign 'one-touch-stop' schemes to the addition of visual warning, and then to the introduction of tactile perception. The technology has been widely applied in the fields of 3C electronics, automobiles, and semiconductors.

Breakthroughs in Large-Scale High-Quality Silicon Carbide Substrate Materials

The 'Large-Scale High-Quality Silicon Carbide Substrate Materials Key Technology Research and Industrialization' project, which won the special prize in the Shandong Province Science and Technology Awards, has made a breakthrough in the core technologies of large-scale high-quality silicon carbide crystal growth, defect control, and ultra-precision processing. It has achieved the first domestic and global continuous expansion of silicon carbide single crystal from 4 inches to 12 inches, and has successfully developed and mass-produced 12-inch silicon carbide single crystal wafers. This has solved the problems of large-scale single crystal expansion difficulty, high stress, and slow growth.

The team behind this project has developed a technology that can expand the diameter of silicon carbide single crystal from 200 mm to 300 mm, achieving the complete autonomous breakthrough of 12-inch silicon carbide substrate material technology. The company's 8-inch silicon carbide single crystal substrate has a global market share of over 50%, and the 12-inch product has been mass-produced and supplied to downstream customers. This technology has significant implications for the development of the silicon carbide industry.
