1.X-Camp Student of Xinstitute AI Project Exhibition
Location: Right side of the summit entrance

This exhibition showcases student project posters from the X-Camp, organized by Xinstitute. Over the course of just 10 days, approximately 140 high school students and 220 university students from around the world gathered to tackle disruptive, from-scratch innovation challenges across various fields. This intensive experience was designed to ignite a passion for scientific research and innovation, resulting in original ideas developed entirely from scratch. This exhibit highlights a selection of student projects with a focus on AI-driven innovations.

 4. Modular Theatre 

Location： Booth B22

The Modular Theatre explores breaking down narrative structures to build an open, extensible system for object-based performances. This setup invites audiences to easily participate in or create performances focused on sound, light, and interaction. Through a cluster-based model, it examines possibilities for self-organization and continuous evolution in the performance. As a product, Modular Theatre focuses on Tangible User Interfaces (TUI) and leverages TinyML on consumer-grade microcontrollers, transforming everyday objects into engaging IoT “performers” that respond to audience interaction.

7. AccelerAIot

Location: Booth E05

AccelerAIot is a wireless smart sensor designed for monitoring vibration acceleration in building structures. It features a high-precision acceleration vibration sensor module and integrates WiFi and a storage unit, enabling real-time cloud synchronization of data. This makes it ideal for long-term monitoring of residential and office buildings.

The device can track building vibrations caused by earthquakes, typhoons, and subway-induced tremors. By combining this data with the team’s smart building safety assessment algorithms and digital twin platform, AccelerAIot helps property owners visually assess the vibration safety status of their buildings.

Organized by: School of Civil and Transportation Engineering, Shenzhen University

8. Architectural Diffusion: AI-Powered Design Intelligence Generation
Location: Booth E12

This project features an AI model capable of automatically generating architectural designs. Based on the popular Diffusion architecture, it allows users to input a layout intention or 2D sketch, which the AI then transforms into a complete residential floor plan or 3D building form. This innovation promotes the automation of design processes and encourages greater participation from non-professionals in architectural design.

Organized by: Future Human Habitat Research Institute, Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School

9. Humanoid Robot Project
Location: Booth F06

In this project, students apply their knowledge of mathematics, science, technology, and programming to design and build humanoid robots. Using tools like laser cutting, 3D printing, electronics, and programming, the robots are designed to perform various agile movements, such as dancing, running, fighting, and playing soccer. Additionally, these students have participated in numerous international robotics competitions, earning multiple championships at prestigious events like RoboCup, RoboGames (USA), and RoboOne (Japan).

Organized by: Buddhist Ho Nam Kam College Robotics Club

10. GPT Instant Query Big Button
Location: Booth G18

With various large AI models emerging globally, it’s time to update our search engine habits. ABI DAO has designed a large button that can be placed next to your desktop computer. Whenever you have a question, simply press the button, and the AI model will provide the knowledge it has. It’s a free-to-use large AI model for an easy and enjoyable experience.
