Fourier × ShanghaiTech University: Joint Laboratory to Explore a New Paradigm for Embodied Health Care

Fourier and ShanghaiTech University signed an agreement at the Life and Health Forum of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) to jointly build the "ShanghaiTech-Fourier Joint Laboratory," focusing on artificial intelligence, embodied intelligence, and medical robotics. Centered on hospitals and health care as core scenarios, the joint laboratory will build autonomous systems integrating environmental perception, intelligent decision-making, and physical interaction, and will seek breakthroughs on three fundamental technical bottlenecks: learning mechanisms of the embodied brain, safety mechanisms for human-robot collaboration, and multi-robot cooperative control.
