The working visit of the delegation of M. Auezov South Kazakhstan University, led by the Chairman of the Board – Rector, Dr. D. Akhmed-Zaki, continued in Shanghai, where the group was introduced to key scientific, educational and technological centers of the city. The program offered a clear picture of how Shanghai is shaping one of the most dynamic ecosystems in artificial intelligence, robotics and modern digital pedagogy.
The first visit took place at Unitree Robotics. The delegation was presented with the latest generation of mobile and industrial robots, autonomous platforms for production, service and research tasks, as well as AI-driven navigation and motion systems. These solutions demonstrated how rapidly robotics technologies are moving from conceptual ideas to real-world application.
At Zhangjiang Robot Valley, one of Shanghai’s major innovation clusters, the delegation was shown a wide range of developments in humanoid, medical and high-precision industrial robotics. The platform brings together industry, research teams and technology start-ups, creating favorable conditions for interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of AI, robotics, biomedicine and materials science. The showcased technologies focused on autonomous control, environmental interaction and the integration of intelligent systems into real production processes.
At East China Normal University, the delegation was introduced to digital tools for preparing educators of a new generation, including educational data analytics systems, VR simulators for competency assessment and personalized learning platforms. The university presented a model where technology helps teachers strengthen practical skills and adapt to a rapidly evolving digital learning environment.
The final part of the Shanghai program was a visit to FUDAN University, one of China’s leading research institutions. The delegation toured laboratories in chemistry, catalysis, nanomaterials and chemical biology, and learned about the use of machine learning for analyzing chemical processes. The university also presented developments in big data, biomedical technologies, computer vision and digital twin systems for urban environments.
The visit to Shanghai showcased the scale and ambition of the city’s scientific and technological clusters. The insights and new partnerships gained during the trip provide a strong foundation for expanding joint projects, strengthening international cooperation and advancing the educational, research and innovation agenda of M. Auezov South Kazakhstan University.
