Sim2Real Talent. DexForce and Guangdong Universities Team Up

On April 24, a symposium on the “new tracks and new paradigms” of collaborative embodied AI talent cultivation successfully concluded at Foshan University. As a deep participant in the embodied AI industry and a co-organizer of the event, DexForce Technology, under the guidance of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education and the Teaching Guidance Committee, joined hands with leaders of numerous universities and academic experts to jointly chart a new chapter of Sim2Real technology-driven industry-education integration, injecting powerful momentum from the industrial frontline into AI talent cultivation in Guangdong and across the country.

On the shore of the South China Sea, amid the fullness of spring, a high-caliber academic gathering drew the attention of the entire AI education community across the province. Experts and scholars from leading universities such as South China University of Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) and Foshan University, together with leaders of pioneering vocational institutions such as Guangdong Industry Polytechnic University and Shunde Polytechnic University, gathered for in-depth discussions on embodied AI as a core topic of the industry of the future.

Beyond the clash of theories, real industrial scenarios were within arm’s reach. The embodied AI experience zone set up by DexForce Technology at the venue became a major highlight of the symposium. From the ice cream robot delivering closed-loop precision manipulation, to the greeting robot saying hello and shaking hands with guests, to the widely watched hands-on demos of simulation-based and real-robot data collection, university leaders and faculty members present operated the systems firsthand and immersed themselves in the experience, gaining an intuitive feel for how embodied AI moves from the laboratory to real-world application.

Behind all of this is a demonstration of the strength of the Sim2Real technology barriers of DexForce Technology: with its self-developed DexVerse™ simulation engine, agents complete massive, low-cost training in the virtual world and then transfer the acquired skills to physical robot bodies with a “one-click” transfer. This model of “virtual first, real second — the virtual empowering the real” completely breaks through the predicament of traditional teaching, where real-robot equipment is expensive, wear and tear is high, and students dare not lay hands on it, offering universities the optimal solution for building low-cost, high-efficiency, zero-risk embodied AI training labs.

The wave of embodied AI calls for the emergence of a new generation of talent. DexForce Technology knows well that the development of an enterprise cannot do without a solid talent foundation, and that talent cultivation, in turn, cannot do without the deep participation of industry. At this symposium, DexForce Technology officially launched a “shared industry-education roots” talent cultivation solution for Chinese universities. Its core lies in:

>>Shared technology roots

The platforms students learn on at university remain consistent with the underlying engines enterprises actually use in research, development and deployment.

>>Shared scenario roots

Real cases that DexForce has validated across more than 30 industries, including automotive, home appliances and logistics, and in over 1,000 commercial deployment projects, are replicated 1:1 as teaching scenarios, ensuring that what is learned is exactly what will be used.

>>Shared ecosystem roots

Drawing on the full industry-chain resources of DexForce, it provides students with real career pathways from data collection and annotation to algorithm R&D and on-site operations and maintenance, building a seamless bridge from classroom to workplace.

Addressing the common problem of idle legacy robot equipment at universities, the innovative “legacy asset reuse” upgrade solution from DexForce Technology can revitalize existing assets with outstanding cost-effectiveness, helping institutions build a new teaching ecosystem aligned with the industrial frontier at lower cost.

Under the theme of “focusing on new tracks and co-creating new paradigms,” this symposium was not only a feast of ideas, but also a forward-looking move in which government, universities and enterprises in Guangdong act in synergy to advance the integrated development of education, technology and talent. As a leader in the large-scale deployment of embodied AI, DexForce Technology will keep rooting itself in the industrial frontline, giving back to education with cutting-edge technological strength, and joining hands with universities to explore replicable and scalable new paradigms of embodied AI industry-education integration, contributing core strength to serving the Guangdong strategy of manufacturing as the mainstay and cultivating outstanding AI talent for the new era.
