AI "Tour Guide", AI Commentator, AI Referee... Inventory the Five "Blackest" Technologies of the Asian Games

Compared to previous Asian Games, the Hangzhou Asian Games is likely to be the smartest, "said Vinod, Acting Director General of the Asian Olympic Council, in a media interview.

The Hangzhou Asian Games officially closed on the evening of October 8th. The Chinese team set a new record with 201 gold medals, and compared to 201 gold medals, various intelligent applications and technological models during the Hangzhou Asian Games also shone brightly.

According to official data from the Asian Games, there are nearly 20 first promoted, innovative, and first used applications and technologies in this year's Asian Games. Next, we will introduce the five most prominent technology applications and their underlying technical details.




During the Hangzhou Asian Games, there was a robot shaped intelligent agent serving visually impaired people at some volunteer service points in Hangzhou.

'Weiming' comes from Peking University on the banks of Weiming Lake. Under the guidance of Professor Huang Tiejun and Researcher Shang Hang from Peking University, the student team of Zhuang Jining from Peking University has developed the "Unnamed" embodied intelligent robot software service system for navigation guidance and assistance services during the Asian Games, and has also received a "roll call" from the People's Daily.

Weiming "is different from all traditional robots in the past. It is based on the perception generation integrated multimodal large model developed by the Zhuang Ning student team, which can accurately perceive and understand the visual scenes inside and outside the venue, generate accurate and rich language descriptions, achieve the transformation from complex human commands to specific actions, and efficiently fine tune the model based on the size model of cloud collaboration, improving the generalization of the model, Enable it to quickly adapt to new scenarios.

It is reported that this system can provide visitors with navigation services, assist visually impaired individuals in guiding and navigating, analyze their needs and complete corresponding tasks, and help visually impaired individuals pick up fallen items.




At the track and field arena of the Hangzhou Asian Games, several robotic dogs transporting discus back and forth became the "eye-catching bags" of the venue.

This is the "machine dog" used to transport discus at the Asian Games. Each dog is equipped with a slot on its back, which can carry 1-2 kilograms of discus and quickly transport sports equipment on a predetermined route. After completing the task, the robot dogs will "lie down" at the edge of the field waiting for instructions. In addition, smaller robots can also perform actions such as forward lunging, sitting down, and bowing.

It is understood that the average distance for a robotic dog to travel back and forth is about 120m. Calculated based on 60 rounds in a competition, it is equivalent to the workload of over 7000m for staff in previous discus competitions. With robotic dog transportation, it can greatly liberate staff.




At the Asian Games, there are not only robot dogs picking up discus, but also AI providing event commentary.

This high-speed sports AI interpretation system, developed by the student team of Peking University's Ning, detects scene objects and athletes through the pulse signal of high-speed cameras. It will be able to capture key moments in sports competitions and generate high-quality highlights and related data. Based on multimodal large model algorithms and deep learning models, these sports data will be analyzed. Based on the analysis results, the system will generate personalized interpretation services in real-time, Thus providing personalized experiences for audiences in various languages.

Taking the generation of commentary for table tennis events as an example, in the scene where two people are playing table tennis, the system can capture and understand the 3D posture of the athletes, analyze the trajectory of the ball, and generate accurate descriptions.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that multimodal large model technology has been implemented and attempted in international large-scale comprehensive sports events.




As is well known, the core system of this Hangzhou Asian Games has achieved 100% cloud access, which means that different versions of the same competition can be generated through the cloud platform. More importantly, a new video editing method has also been possible.

It is understood that the Alibaba Cloud AI intelligent editing used by the Asian Games Media Center can automatically cut multi angle shots with one click, add subtitle transitions, and other effects.

For example, the original editing of the 100 meter freestyle competition highlights video required cutting back and forth between panoramic, close-up, and close-up shots. Now, simply selecting the contestant can generate multi track shots with one click, and then adding slow action close-up shots and proofreading AI generated subtitles based on the background music, completing a fast and good video.




Traditional human referees may miss certain behaviors due to visual angle, line of sight obstruction, or momentary judgment errors, while AI referees can capture details in real-time through multiple angles and high frame rate cameras, ensuring more accurate decision-making.

According to official disclosure, this Asian Games has introduced AI referee scoring technology, providing a more fair and accurate judgment for the competition.

The AI referee system uses AI infrared tracking technology, combined with an automatically generated scoring system, to score each player. AI referees will also analyze the athlete's various body parameters and movement angles, and complete scoring according to international standards,

AI referees are not influenced by emotions, pressure, or any external factors, and are solely based on facts and predetermined rules, making them the most "upright" technology.

We look forward to these black technology products gradually penetrating into the lives of ordinary users, bringing more convenience, efficiency, and sustainability to our lives.
