Exoskeletons that make you feel light, mattresses that adjust to your sleeping position, and cars that can fly or drive on the ground... On September 21st, the main event for the 2024 National Science Popularization Day in Guangzhou kicked off at Pazhou Science Center of the Guangdong Academy of Sciences. This year's main event spans two days for the first time, featuring five major exhibition areas with over 170 booths. It showcases the science resources, technological achievements, and research capabilities of Guangzhou, allowing citizens to experience the incredible charm of how technological innovation transforms lives.

At the event, a stunning science popularization corridor captured the attention of the audience. Many parents and children were seen browsing the science promotion displays and participating in Q&A sessions.

In front of GAC Group's booth, a model of the latest GOVE multi-rotor flying car showcased a new mode of transportation for the future. According to staff from GAC Group, they plan to launch a demonstration program for flying cars in 2027, creating an intercity three-dimensional travel model across 2 to 3 cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Local tech company Shipeng Technology showcased their latest product: a walking assist exoskeleton robot. This robot, which straps around the waist and legs, can not only help individuals with mobility challenges regain their ability to walk but also allow able-bodied users to feel light as a feather.

Deng Wenzhong, Foreign Member of Chinese Academy of Engineering and Member of National Academy of Engineering, and Liu Huanbin, Foreign Member of Russian Academy of Sciences, shared their cutting-edge technological achievements at the event. They effectively simplified complex scientific knowledge, helping bridge the gap between science and the public.

来这里，与脑机互联、AI数智等前沿科技亲密接触

能让你身轻如燕的外骨骼、可以任意调整姿态迎合你的睡姿的床垫、可飞翔可地面行驶的汽车……9月21日，2024年广州市全国科普日主会场活动在广东省科学院琶洲科普中心开启。今年的主会场活动首次连续2天举行，共设五大主题展区超170个展位，多维度向市民展现广州地区的科普资源、科技成果和科研能力，让市民现场亲身感受科技创新改变生活的巨大魅力。

在广汽集团的科普展位前，一辆最新研制的GOVE多旋翼飞行汽车的模型，向市民们展示着未来出行的新方式。据广汽集团的工作人员介绍，广汽集团计划在2027年推出飞行汽车示范运行方案，在粤港澳大湾区内2至3座城市间打造出城际立体出行样板。

广州本土科技企业视鹏科技则展示了他们的最新产品——助行外骨骼机器人。通过捆绑在腰部和腿部，这一外骨骼机器人不仅可以帮助行走不便的人士重新恢复行走能力，也可以让正常人“身轻如燕”。

中国工程院外籍院士、美国工程院院士邓文中，俄罗斯工程院外籍院士刘焕彬现场分享了他们的前沿科技成果，还以通俗易懂的方式普及了科学知识，有效地拉近了科学与公众之间的距离。
