Zhuhai 4D Age Technology, an artificial intelligence company based in Zhuhai, has agreed a major partnership with a world-leading German research institute to co-develop AI and advanced artificial visual technology.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and German Chancellor Angela Merkel attended the signing ceremony for the agreement between 4D Age and Deutsche Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) in Berlin on June 1.
The two organizations will work together to develop "eyes" and "brains" for robots and robotic arms, according to Cui Yan, president of 4D Age. "Our new products will combine micro 3-D with industry and manufacturing," said Cui.
According to the agreement, 4D Age and DFKI will primarily work together on sensible modeling construction technology using binocular cameras. The devices will be capable of constructing models and doing detection at the micrometer level, guiding robotic arms to do polishing, painting and shell-flatting.

The technology is expected to support the development of industrial automation. Chinese electronics giant Gree Electric Appliances, which is based in Zhuhai, has partnered with the two organizations to test the technology.
4D Age has been developing a relationship with DFKI, recognized as one of the world's top AI research institutions, for some time. In 2016, 4D Age helped DFKI establish its first Asian AI branch in Zhuhai's Xiangzhou district.
The Zhuhai-based company has enjoyed a stratospheric rise since it was founded less than three years ago. Thanks to support from municipal and district governments, 4D Age has become one of China's most influential and fastest-developing companies in artificial intelligence and artificial vision.
Based on its self-developed 3-D reconstruction and digital virtual display technologies, the company has completed the development and manufacture of a dozen products, including 4Dart, fingertip art, fingertip music, industry, 4D land scene and intelligent emotional robots.
Li began his visit to Germany on May 31 and attended an annual bilateral meeting with Merkel. On June 1, the two leaders witnessed the signing of many agreements between Chinese and German enterprises in fields including aviation, new energy automobiles, intelligent manufacturing, finance and environmental protection. The artificial intelligence project was one of these agreements.
