The Fusion of Technology and Culture: Ban Ki-moon Celebrates AiMOGA Robotics in Wuhu

As the crisp autumn air of Wuhu, China, grew fragrant with the sweet scent of osmanthus, a notable visitor arrived in the riverside city. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations, graced the occasion as he took on his new role as an Honorary Advisor on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) at Chery International. This visit was not only a celebration of technological advancements but also a cultural homage, blending Eastern courtesy with the intelligent future.

At the Chery International Ecosystem Experience, a space where technology meets humanity, Ban was not just a spectator; he engaged in meaningful dialogue about the innovative landscape and the future of sustainable manufacturing. Here, AiMOGA Robotics played a significant role, showcasing how traditional values can harmoniously coexist with advancements in artificial intelligence.

Upon entering the pavilion, Mr. Ban was warmly welcomed by Mornine, a humanoid robot that held forth a bouquet of exquisite golden osmanthus. This gesture was enriched by the intricate wrapping displaying lines from the Preface to the Poems Collected from the Orchid Pavilion (Lantingji Xu) by the legendary Chinese calligraphist Wang Xizhi. The robot's gesture perfectly encapsulated Mr. Ban's fondness for Chinese culture and its artistic expressions. An interpreter captured the essence of this gift, stating, "As we celebrate this golden-autumn season, Mornine presents osmanthus to you. In Chinese culture, 'gui' represents nobility, signifying respect and friendship."

As if on cue, the interaction became more delightful when AiMOGA’s quadruped robot, Argos, entered the scene, bearing chocolates to sweeten the moment. Mr. Ban reciprocated the warm atmosphere by mingling among the array of AiMOGA robots while expressing his greetings in multiple languages at the 'Hello in Many Languages' wall, promoting cross-cultural dialogue.

The ceremony embodied more than just technology—it was a robust representation of Chery’s humanistic approach to innovation and a vivid display of how AiMOGA acts as a cultural envoy, telling the rich stories of China through technology, bridging gaps between civilizations. The fragrance of osmanthus, denoting hospitality, served as a soothing reminder of the enduring friendships formed while collectively striving toward sustainable objectives.

Earlier in the month, Chery hosted the 'Champion for Education in Africa' initiative in Johannesburg, where AiMOGA’s humanoid robot took center stage as an educational ambassador, demonstrating bilingual and multicultural interaction. The initiative illustrated AiMOGA Robotics' commitment to Chery's global ESG strategy, defining its role as a meaningful participant in education and technology while reflecting the concept of 'Technology for Good'. This engagement from Africa to Wuhu signified unity and the company's earnest ambition to foster genuine connections in diverse spheres.

During further discussions, Mr. Ban and Mr. Zhang Guibing, Chery International’s President, delved into areas of RD for embodied intelligence, potential global industrial partnerships, and future collaborations. Yin Tongyue, Chairman of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., articulated the essence of sustainable practices: "ESG lies at the core of a sustainable future. We are committed to working alongside international entities to promote low-carbon technology and socially impactful ventures, thereby fulfilling our responsibilities as a global corporate citizen."

The presence of Mr. Ban Ki-moon as an Honorary Advisor underscored his recognition of Chery’s commitments to sustainable development principles and innovative practices. It signals a broader acceptance of Chinese industries leading the way in sustainable growth while balancing accountability and compassion in their endeavors.

As a key player in intelligent manufacturing, Chery is expanding its industrial prospects through technological innovations like AiMOGA Robotics. This journey encapsulates its commitment from automotive manufacturing to advanced robotics. Each interaction is a testament to their endeavor to fuse responsibility with technological evolution, demonstrating warmth and strength in China’s intelligent manufacturing landscape.

In conclusion, Ban Ki-moon’s visit to Wuhu and the warmth of AiMOGA Robotics showcase how technology can serve as a bridge—connecting cultures, fostering sustainable practices, and heralding a future rich with possibilities. The encounter didn’t just celebrate innovation; it represented a poignant blend of tradition and technology, reaffirming the belief that collaboration across borders leads to a brighter, sustainable future for all.
