1. "Unitree Robotics Industry College" Established in Feidong On May 26, Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. and the Hefei Institute of Technology Education Group officially partnered to jointly establish Anhui province's first "Unitree Robotics Industry College" in Feidong County. This initiative aims to fill the gap in humanoid robotics vocational education in East China and empower Anhui's multi-billion-yuan robotics industry cluster. The newly established college is a tripartite collaboration between the Hefei Institute of Technology Education Group, Unitree Robotics, and Anhui Jingzhuo Information Technology Co., Ltd. It will precisely align with real enterprise job demands, innovate a "government-industry-enterprise-school" collaborative talent cultivation mechanism, and "customize" high-quality technical and skilled personnel for the robotics industry. This marks the second higher vocational industry college established nationwide by Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. According to the agreement, Unitree will provide the college with robust technical support, integrating the latest robotics technologies, equipment, and industry resources into the curriculum. Focusing on core areas such as robot operation and maintenance, scenario adaptation, and system integration, the college will build a specialized discipline system and practical training base. This effort aims to help Anhui create a comprehensive "R&D-cultivation-application-transformation" industry-education ecosystem and promote regional industrial upgrading. The Unitree Robotics College will be implemented by Wanbo Technology Vocational College, Hefei Heyi Technical School, and Hefei Institute of Technology under the Hefei Institute of Technology Education Group. It will strictly align with the Ministry of Education's reform requirements for key elements of vocational education teaching, focusing on five core areas: majors, courses, teaching materials, teachers, and internship training, to comprehensively innovate the teaching model. The enterprise's latest core technologies and real production scenarios will be directly incorporated into the training centers and classrooms, allowing students to have zero-distance contact. Both the enterprise and the educational institution will jointly develop new teaching materials and form a "dual-qualification" teaching team.
