From March 10 to 13, 2025, A faculty and student delegation from Shanghai Technican School was invited to participate in the TED Student Innovation Training Program.The project is a collaboration between the Singapore Institute of Technical Education (ITE) and the Baden-Württemberg State Education Bureau of Germany, dedicated to cultivating highly-skilled talent in the mechanical engineering field.
The technical innovation exchange exhibition featured 12 innovative projects in the field of mechanical engineering applications. The exhibited projects covered various fields including industrial production equipment, civil improvement projects, intelligent production line systems, and transportation infrastructure.
The five-member delegation was led by Xue Jinhui, a teacher from the Department of Electromechanical Engineering, and included four students—Jin Ziwen, Ding Haowei, Wang Yutong, and Zhu Shengyang—who presented the "Tracked Beach Cleaning Robot" project at the exhibition. During the event, the faculty and student delegation introduced the project's innovative design concepts and applied technologies to ITE faculty, students, and visiting guests, earning unanimous praise.Closely addressing global marine environmental challenges and adhering to demand-driven, pragmatic principles, the project ingeniously integrates microcontroller control technology, wireless remote control, and a six-axis robotic arm, innovatively applying them to a tracked robot chassis to successfully achieve beach cleaning functionality.At the exhibition, many international guests praised the project, describing it as "user-friendly, highly creative, and smart, effectively solving real-world problems." This collaboration on the innovative project not only fostered in-depth exchanges in innovative thinking and professional knowledge among students from both sides, but also successfully built a platform for mutual learning and exchange.
