Ten mathematical problems in the smart manufacturing industry are released and posted nationwide for solutions

Focus on “solving” major and key mathematical problems in the industry

Ten issues in the intelligent manufacturing industry released this time Mathematics questions are collected from members of the Chinese Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, national key laboratories related to intelligent manufacturing, and national key R&D projects. They are proposed by universities, scientific research institutes, enterprises, etc., and are reviewed online by three types of experts. , selected through offline discussions, focusing on existing, major, and critical mathematical issues that restrict the development of the intelligent manufacturing industry, and inviting mathematicians, experts in related disciplines, and entrepreneurs to "solve problems" together.

Among the top ten issues selected this time, three are from Chongqing, two of which are from Changan Automobile. Zhan Zhangsong, general manager of Changan Automotive Engineering Research Institute, said that with the development of the "four modernizations" (electrification, networking, intelligence, and sharing) of the automobile industry, there is an urgent need for mathematics, especially applied mathematics, such as autonomous driving. Technology development requires the use of simulation methods. In the past, R&D teams often treated it as an engineering problem, but in fact it was a mathematical problem. This requires the intervention of mathematicians to help companies condense their needs, ask questions, and then solve them.

The three-party collaboration of "unveiling the list and taking charge" promotes corporate innovation

This time the ten mathematical problems in the intelligent manufacturing industry are oriented towards Lists have been posted across the country for solutions, and two mathematical problems in the automotive field have been included in the second batch of Chongqing Municipal Science and Technology Bureau's "Revelation and Leadership" project list, with "rewards" offered nationwide for solutions. Among them, the "Real-time Optimization Problem of Autonomous Driving Trajectories under Complex Conditions" is applied to advanced autonomous driving products, and the released list amount is up to 6 million yuan. The project results of "Chaos Model and Fault Prediction for Thermal Safety of Electric Vehicle Power Batteries" will be applied to For battery thermal runaway warning and life prediction of existing and future new energy vehicles, the maximum amount of the list released is 10 million yuan.

“Chongqing’s ‘unveiling the list and taking charge’ is a good start for ‘enterprises to propose problems, mathematicians to solve problems, and the government to allocate resources’.” Academician Zhang Pingwen, Chairman of the Society, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Peking University, and Vice President, was at the meeting It was stated at the conference that enterprises serve as question makers, but setting questions is a difficult issue. Learning to work with companies to condense the top ten issues of intelligent manufacturing is itself an opportunity to help companies come up with questions. Through tripartite collaboration among enterprises, mathematicians, and the government, we will jointly promote exchanges and cooperation between mathematics and industry, promote the exchange of high-level innovative talents, and assist the development of scientific and technological innovation in our country.

Xu Hongbin, director of the Chongqing Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, said that "unveiling the list and taking charge" is a new mechanism for the generation of scientific research projects. It is to "come up with questions" for the most urgent tasks. What needs to be solved is Problems that need to be solved urgently in the development of enterprises, industries or countries. He believes that in traditional scientific research projects, the science and technology administrative department serves as the "Party A" of the project, but in the "unveiling and commanding" project, its role changes to "Party C", which is mainly responsible for project organization, coordination, supervision and management, considering the project Issues such as whether a list should be published, how the list should be formed, and who will lead the project.
