therefore forms a complete technological chain encompassing hardware, software, and Intelligent manufacturing.

Emphasizing the characteristics of "intelligence" and "systematicness" for emerging engineering disciplines, iDI breaks down disciplinary barriers and has progressively developed three distinctive cross-disciplinary clusters of "Control and Logistics," "Electronics and Computing," and "Precision Instruments and Mechanical Engineering", which that are highly integrated and mutually reinforcing. These clusters robustly support three strategic development focuses of "Embodied AI and Systems", "AI plus X", and "Intelligent Instrument and Equipment".
