Zhuhai's state-of-art technological innovations including robots, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), and agricultural drones were showcased at the ongoing largest State-level international high-tech fair in China.

Demonstrations by a 31-enterprise Zhuhai delegation attracted a great deal of attention at the 19th China High-Tech Fair (CHTF 2017) which opened at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center on Nov 16.

Under the theme of Innovation-Driven Development & Supply Quality Upgrade, the six-day fair exhibits more than 10,000 products from 3,000 enterprises from more than 30 countries and regions involved in the Belt & Road Initiative.

With an exhibition area of over 120,000 sq m, the annual technology show features more than 200 events, including forums, salons, and product releases.

Led by industry giants such as Gree Electric Appliances, the Zhuhai exhibition group became the focus of the expo with regard to the development of virtual reality (VR), software and integrated circuits, environmental protection equipment, and new materials.

Many of the latest national sci-tech projects were spotlighted, with 300 of the 120,000-sq-m exhibition area earmarked for Zhuhai's presentation.

Garnering particular attention was the latest integrated military-civilian L30 USV series developed by Zhuhai Yunzhou Intelligence Technology Ltd (Yunzhou-Tech).

The product family is specified for on-water patrol and safety protection. It has applied world-leading technologies to make it convenient, high speed, and intelligent when autonomously cruising, evading obstacles, and doing real-time monitoring.

With a block-based design mode to increase loading capacity, the platform carries automated weapon stations, life-saving appliances, and automatic firing guns – all useful in defense, near-shore patrol, maritime search and rescue, and firefighting. What's more, the vehicle handles easily and steadily, and is not much affected by storms and high winds, according to a company representative.
