On the evening of February 4, the opening ceremony of the XXIV Winter Olympic Games (referred to as the "Winter Olympics") was held at the Beijing Bird's Nest. From the 2008 Summer Olympic Games to the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, from "one world, one dream" to "one beautiful appeal to the future together", Beijing has realized the dream of "the city of the two Olympic Games", and China has also been carrying forward the Olympic spirit.
At this year's Winter Olympics, Shenzhen, located on the coast of the South China Sea, also interacted with the opening ceremony site through the form of a connection to celebrate this grand event. At the same time, as a young city of scientific and technological innovation, a large number of scientific and technological elements with Shenzhen characteristics also appeared at the Scene of the Winter Olympics, and high-tech such as digital snowflakes, AI robots, drones, and laser projections stunned the audience, bringing an audio-visual feast to the audience.
"Shenzhen Elements" helps the Winter Olympics of science and technology. As early as the beginning of the preparation for the Winter Olympics, the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly studied and formulated the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics (2022) Action Plan" in conjunction with relevant departments, focusing on 8 aspects such as "zero-row energy supply, green travel, 5G sharing, smart spectators, sports science and technology, clean environment, safe competition, and international cooperation", and specially set up key special projects for the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics", and approved the launch of 80 "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" projects, making the Winter Olympics full of science and technology.
Shenzhen Gaoju Innovation, Guangfeng Technology
To help carbon neutrality, drones and laser projection "fancy" appeared
At a press conference on January 13, Li Sen, director of the overall planning department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that the Beijing Winter Olympics will be fully carbon neutral. Under the background of "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality", how can Shenzhen enterprises help carbon neutrality at the Winter Olympics? The drone performance provided by Shenzhen Gaoju Innovation Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gaoju Innovation") and the "writing on the cloud" from Shenzhen Guangfeng Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangfeng Technology") are worth mentioning.
On the evening of February 4, after the warm-up performance, the topic of "it snowed in Shenzhen during the Winter Olympics" once appeared on Weibo's hot search, brushing the circle of friends of Shenzhen people. It turned out that this was the "highlight" drone show in the warm-up performance. The 2022 drones posed the image of the winter Olympic mascot ice pier and snow melting, and also simulated snowflakes falling, presenting the citizens' blessings for the Winter Olympics in the form of a real-time barrage.
Behind the "Shenzhen Snow" screen, each "snowflake" not only does not consume electricity, but also reduces air pollution. Li Chenliang, general manager of Gaoju Innovation, introduced that the drone model used in this performance has a long endurance of 33 minutes, supports multiple take-offs and landings to save energy and save electricity, and can also pause, rewind and return at any time, and can react according to the director's needs at any time during the rehearsal of the program, which greatly reduces air pollution compared with traditional fireworks.
In addition to the drone show, the highlights of the Shenzhen warm-up show included laser floodlights that could write on clouds. Four dazzling laser light pillars rushed into the sky, wrote "One In the World" on the cloud, and displayed the "Five Rings" logo in the cloud, which was very visually shocking. The traditional projection distance is generally within 500 meters, why can the font on the warm-up performance be presented in the cloud? Zhang Feng, general manager of Guangfeng Science and Technology Engineering Division, told Nandu reporter that the technology used this time can be imaged within a range of 30 meters to 3000 meters, and the highest brightness of similar products in the industry is currently 60,000 lumens, and the brightness of the flood lamp reaches 100,000 lumens, so long-distance imaging is also visible to the human eye.
For helping carbon neutrality, Zhang Feng said that the traditional technology has low electro-optical conversion efficiency, large heat generation, the need for a larger heat dissipation device, large volume, and the new technology used this time can greatly improve the electro-optical conversion efficiency, greatly reduce heat loss, so as to be more energy-saving and more environmentally friendly.
UBTECH Technology
Human-machine integration, AI+ robots to help the innovation and development of ice and snow sports
In the warm-up performance of the Shenzhen branch venue, the collective dance performance brought by 56 robots was very eye-catching. Dressed in the traditional costumes of 56 ethnic groups, they waved the national flag and the Olympic flag to cheer for the Olympic athletes. In addition, there are 9 robots transforming into skiers and skaters. They presented the aerial skills of the two classic sports of snowboarding and skiing, while taking into account the movements, simulated the expression of the athletes during the competition and maintained stability, restoring the cool and heroic posture of the Olympic athletes.
These robots come from Shenzhen's artificial intelligence and humanoid robot company UBTECH. It is worth noting that the skis of the 9 "skier" robots are also full of "Shenzhen elements". Li Chao, commercial director of UBTECH Technology, introduced that the hand-painted design of the skis combines Shenzhen landmarks and scientific and technological elements, and there are patterns of Shenzhen landmarks such as civic centers, Ping An Building, and talent parks on the skis, as well as pioneering cattle representing the spirit of Shenzhen. In addition, the designers have also drawn flexible line patterns and space patterns, giving them a full sense of technology.
Li Chao, who is also the person in charge of the UBTECH Winter Olympics project, revealed the story behind the robot and performance design of UBTECH on the stage of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games. Li Chao introduced that the "Wukong Robot" displayed in the warm-up performance of the Winter Olympics is a flexible body and is the first robot with a sense of life. "After receiving the task, we first thought about how to arouse everyone's attention to the ice and snow sports of the Winter Olympics through the combination of science and technology and sports. In the thinking on this issue, the robot dressed in 56 national costumes was born, and we hope to show the blessings of the sons and daughters of China for the Winter Olympic Games and the City of the Two Olympics in the form of science and technology. Secondly, we also think about how to show the charm of technology and sports through AI artificial intelligence. The Goku robot has 14 rudder joints and can do a lot of anthropomorphic movements, and snowboarding and skiing are two very popular sports, so 9 ski robots were born. ”
Li Chao said that under the trend of "human-machine integration", robots in the future will likely become an important participant in ice and snow sports, helping ice and snow sports from competitive sports to mass sports, and will also provide unlimited possibilities for the innovative development of ice and snow sports in the world, the improvement of competitive levels and the expansion of models.
HUAWEI CLOUD, Tencent
"Digital snowflakes" drift into the nest, and there are virtual beauty anchors who can sign language
At the opening ceremony, the last torchbearer put the torch into the center of the "snowflake shape" and became the main torch, the small flame is also transmitting the concept of low carbon, and the "snowflake shape" also closes the distance between people and the ice and snow world. While many viewers were affected by the epidemic and could not come to the scene in person, CCTV cooperated with HUAWEI CLOUD to launch a "digital snowflake" that can be customized by everyone, so that more people can participate in the Winter Olympics through digital technology.
According to official data, the "Digital Snowflakes" interactive project of Central Video was officially launched on January 5, 2022, and more than 15 million "digital snowflakes" have floated into the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, adding color to the ice and snow event in a special way.
Nandu reporter learned from HUAWEI CLOUD related aspects that "Digital Snowflake" is based on HUAWEI CLOUD MetaStudio digital content production line, and took the lead in using cutting-edge cloud computing technologies such as media AI, virtual ID, cloud rendering, and blockchain, which can generate a unique "digital snowflake" image and obtain a special certificate of "My Winter Olympics Digital Snowflake".
It is understood that by using AI image recognition technology, HUAWEI CLOUD's Pangu CV model based on 100 billion parameters accurately identifies the face in the user's photo in milliseconds to generate a personalized digital snowflake image, and also integrates the Chinese national essence - Peking Opera face, generating a unique Peking Opera face image based on the user's face.
"Digital Snowflakes" also guarantees the uniqueness of each digital snowflake through blockchain technology. By combining the user ID with the Huawei petal chain, users can generate a "My Winter Olympics Digital Snowflake" certificate on CCTV, with unique and unique information such as snowflake ID serial number, deposit time, timing certificate number, data hash value, etc., forming the user's precious digital assets, and can permanently save the snowflake ID without being tampered with or stolen.
It is also worth mentioning the virtual beauty anchor words with a volume of more than 1.6 million and sign language, and she also witnessed the birth of the first gold of the Chinese team. "The Chinese team, take the lead in crossing the finish line!" On the evening of February 5, after the relay final of the short-track speed skating mixed team, the anchor of CCTV AI Sign Language And sapiens "Listening" used accurate sign language to convey the wonderful content of the Beijing Winter Olympic Ice and Snow Event for the hearing impaired, expressing the excitement of witnessing the Chinese team winning the "first gold".
This virtual beauty anchor "Listening" was also born in Shenzhen and was created by Tencent's technical team. The relevant person in charge of Tencent said that behind the "listening" integrates multi-modal interaction technology, 3D digital human modeling, machine translation, speech recognition and natural language understanding and other technologies, making her her sign language expression ability very close to that of real people. Up to now, the vocabulary and sentence coverage of "listening" has exceeded 1.6 million, and a lot of directional optimization has been made for sports events, and the sign language is understandable by more than 90%.

Long-range ultrasound robot, "get on the car and enter the hospital" Shenzhen plan to escort the event
And when everyone feels the charm of ice and snow sports, how to ensure the safety of athletes? How to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control? It is an important logistical support work, which is also active behind the figure of Shenzhen enterprises.
Ice and snow sports are mostly difficult sports, and the risk of injury to athletes is relatively high, so medical protection is an important part of running events. Under the new crown epidemic, this Winter Olympics can also be described as the most special Winter Olympics in history, due to the objective needs of epidemic prevention and control, the flow of personnel in various competition areas and different locations has been restricted, which also brings great tests to medical security work.
In addition, unlike the Summer Olympic Games, the Winter Olympics are mostly outdoor open-air venues, which not only have a large site area, complex traffic conditions, and relatively scattered competition venues. This also leads to the relative dispersion of on-site medical resources on the one hand, and there is also a certain geographical distance between on-site support and various medical security centers. On this basis, it is crucial to ensure medical capacity on the field and in transit through telemedicine operation guidance.
At this Winter Olympics, Shenzhen Mindray Medical has helped the Winter Olympics in its medical informatization, first aid, ultrasound, inspection and other sectors to help the Winter Olympics and escort the event. In order to achieve the forward movement of treatment, "get on the bus and enter the hospital", with the help of Mindray Medical Ruizhilian, laboratory solutions and remote ultrasound platform, one of the designated hospitals of this ice and snow sports event, the Chongli Branch of peking university third hospital has established ambulances- consultation centers- command centers - hospital treatment to cope with medical security work such as winter Olympic emergency.
With the help of Mindray Medical's Ruizhilian emergency solution, emergency doctors can obtain patient data in advance from the ambulance, assist doctors to quickly formulate rescue plans, and help athletes on the field to prepare for treatment before the patient arrives at the hospital when they are accidentally injured, so as to win time for life.
In addition, Shenzhen Enterprise BGI Intelligent Manufacturing is also involved in medical security work. In the closed-loop management of the Winter Olympics, BGI's remote ultrasound robot enables doctors to conduct "doctor-patient contact-free" diagnosis of patients in the closed-loop management area through 5G and high-speed broadband, expanding the boundaries of time and space.
According to BGI Intelligent Manufacturing, there are also three automated equipment put into nucleic acid testing to inject scientific and technological strength into the prevention and control of the Winter Olympics, including 6 sets of automatic MGISTP-7000 sub-cup processing system, 3 sets of MGISP-NE384 automatic nucleic acid extraction and purification instrument and 2 sets of MGISP-960 high-throughput automated sample preparation system.
It is understood that after the sample enters the laboratory, it can automatically complete the sample opening, closing, entering the bar code information, automatically extracting nucleic acids and completing the automatic PCR system configuration through the three major automation equipment of BGI Intelligent Manufacturing, and finally output the test results through the pcr instrument, and the whole process replaces the manual, which can greatly improve the efficiency of nucleic acid detection.
"If all of these devices are put into use, it is expected that the maximum daily detection throughput can reach 45,000 copies, and the fastest four-hour results can be achieved, which can effectively meet the epidemic prevention needs of the 2 major events, 6 sub-events and 50 small events held in the subsequent competition area." The relevant person in charge of BGI Intelligent Manufacturing pointed out.
