JAC Italy R&D center has developed very quickly in recent years, no matter its products’ quality or the forward-looking conceptual design. It represents JAC’s design has reached a new level. And underneath this has to be the supports from European cooperation partners. Only with their helps can JAC Italy R&D center achieve today’s design level.
In order to celebrate the 10 anniversary of JAC Italy R&D center, JAC will shoot a documentary to unravel the development of Italy R&D center as well as interview its important corporation partners. Today, let’s follow JAC journalists to know three important partners: ISMB, MAGNA STEYR and Vercamodel Saro.
ISMB Company is a non-profit scientific research center and devoted to applied research, who is jointly established by Politecnico Di Torino and one of the Eu biggest banks -Sanpaolo Bank and its major shareholder is Sanpaolo Bank.
ISMB Company has many very powerful scientific research partners such as Microsoft Corporation, telecom, AB SKF, ST Microelectronics, econocom and others. In 13 years of operation, ISMB Company’s success is reflected in some of the best scientific research achievements and results including the European projects and the admiration from its cooperation partners.
Starting from the cooperation with Politecnico Di Torino, and telecom, AB SKF, ST Microelectronics, econocom companies join ISMB’s board of directors one by one. For example, Microsoft Corporation established an Innovation Center in ISMB’s laboratory, which researched on the cloud technology and embedded system and it also involved in the JAC project.
ISMB is also one of the important parts of the European Galileo space program. Only three such scientific research teams in Europe and two others are located in Munich, Germany and Toulouse, France.
In the field of information communication technology, according to the global trend and official instructions from European Commission, ISMB identified three major application fields: energy, intelligent city and intelligent health.
ISMB also focus on the auto innovation industry such as the simulation of the electric vehicle maneuverability, the communication between vehicles, sustainable new mobile solutions, small public vehicle and vehicular unit with the function of Information exchange.
Recently, the project of vehicle intelligent entertainment information system is cooperated with JAC, and the design concept and product prototype will release in 2016 Beijing Auto Show. One of very challenging targets in this project is to design the newest intelligent entertainment information which can realize the communication between driver and vehicle. And it also will become the first such product in the global auto market.
The key concept of this system is to apply the hand gesture recognition system to reduce the distraction of drivers during the process of driving, which can enhance the safety. This system can identify a series of hand movements and give the corresponding response and voice feedback.
It is worth mentioning that the gestures to write function makes the drive can write in the air. Now, this system can identify all the English character, and in the future it will identify Chinese.
