Dean Sun introduced the basic situation of the Soviet Union ’s Xiangcheng Research Institute. He pointed out that in 2013 China had put forward the concept and advocacy of “One Belt One Road” common development. Thailand is an important hub of the Silk Road Economic Belt. China and Thailand Agricultural cooperation between the two countries is bound to flourish. The Soviet Union ’s Xiangcheng Research Institute will take the initiative in talent training and project cooperation to connect with the major needs of the Belt and Road Initiative, and support Hakata to fully seize national strategic opportunities in agricultural science and technology, agricultural investment, agriculture Trade, agricultural industry and other key areas of exhibitions and further cooperation with the Thai Ministry of Agricultural Cooperatives have become a model for China's agricultural robot companies to go global. Suzhou Botian Automation Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise introduced by the Xiangcheng Robot and Intelligent Equipment Research Institute of Suzhou University. With the strong support of the development zone, it has become an innovative leader in the field of agricultural robots in China.

As the new year approaches in 2019, Zhao Chunjiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Agricultural Information Engineering Technology Center, special professor of the Yangtze River Scholars of the Ministry of Education, Professor Li Daoliang of China Agricultural University, director of the National Agricultural Intelligent Equipment Engineering Technology Research Center, and the national "10,000 people plan" "Professor Chen Liping, a leader in scientific and technological innovation, visited Suzhou Botian Automation Technology Co., Ltd. and inspected it. Professor Li Wei, Chairman of Hakata Corporation, Dr. Zhao Feng, Deputy Dean of Xiangcheng Robot and Intelligent Equipment Research Institute of Suzhou University, and Dr. Wang Pengbo, General Manager of Hakata, accompanied the reception.

Academician Zhao Chunjiang and his team visited Hakata Test Field, a series of agricultural robot products and display of IoT control facilities, orchard robot products and mechanical soil experimental platform. Academician Zhao said that agricultural robots are the development trend and necessary elements of agricultural equipment and agricultural modernization. At present, the level of development at home and abroad is comparable, and there is no intergenerational gap. Hakata took the lead in the development of the production, teaching, and research of agricultural robots in China. With the support of local governments, we have developed a series of innovative agricultural robot products, which have set a typical sample for the development of domestic agricultural robot industry. However, the output of the agricultural industry is low. Hakata must have the strategic determination, firm the development direction of agricultural robots, and focus on solving the problems of productization and marketization. In the next step, the National Agricultural Information Engineering Technology Center and Hakata will deepen the level of cooperation and expand The scope of cooperation leads the development of China's smart agriculture and hopes to make outstanding contributions to China's agricultural modernization. Professor Li Daoliang put forward the concept of establishing a world agricultural robot R & D center based on his own scientific research. He used the historical perspective to plan industrial development twenty years in advance. Hakata ’s technology comes from China Agricultural University, the birthplace of China ’s agricultural higher education, and represents Zhongnong technology. Dare to be the first characteristic of the world. Researcher Chen Liping highly praised the practice spirit of Hakata's roots in the earth. The coordinated development of industry, university and research will be one of the most effective paths for China to break through the existing industrial structure and move from low-end manufacturing to high-end creation. National Agricultural Intelligent Equipment Engineering Technology Research Center After exploring this road for many years, I felt deeply arduous tasks. Now that the industry is moving towards the 4.0 era, agricultural robots have also entered the window period. I hope that the agricultural robot industry will develop better and better.

Gu Haidong, Secretary of Xiangcheng District Party Committee, Shen Lei, Member of Standing Committee of Xiangcheng District Committee, Deputy Secretary of Party Committee of Development Zone, and Deputy Director of Management Committee; Zhu Xiaohai, Deputy District Chief of Xiangcheng District People's Government; Sun Yan, Deputy Director of Suzhou Science and Technology Bureau; Xiangcheng Economic Development Gu Quanrong, member of the District Party Working Committee and deputy director of the Management Committee, hosted Academician Zhao and his party, and introduced the positioning of Xiangcheng District and Economic Development Zone, and support for high-tech industries. Robotics and intelligent manufacturing, as one of the five major sectors, are even more important. Among the most important, the two sides used Hakata robots as a sample to explore the development status and future of Chinese agricultural robots. They saw that agricultural robots had entered the fast lane of development and could fundamentally solve the bottlenecks that restrict China's agricultural development. Xiangcheng will continue to increase investment in smart agriculture and provide Xiangcheng solutions for China's modern agriculture.

On January 22, 2019, researcher Zhang Qiuling, Dr. Wei Xiaoming, and Dr. Wu Zhengwen from the Institute of Facilities Agriculture of the Planning and Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture came to Suzhou Botian Robot to visit and guide.
