On November 3rd, the 19th "Challenge Cup" National College Student Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition was held at Nanjing University. The project, Anti-Electric Fishing Patrol and Inspection Robot Based on Multimodal Feature Fusion, of the School of Information and Electrical Engineering of HNUST, stood out in the "AI+" Special Event Contest and won the second national prize.

The award-winning project directly addresses the practical needs of aquatic ecological protection. By innovatively integrating multimodal feature recognition technology, the team developed the anti-electric fish patrol and inspection robot, capable of accurate detection and real-time effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional patrol methods. The project was highly praised by judges for both its technical innovation, marking a notable achievement in applying artificial intelligence technology to ecological protection.

In recent years, HNUST has regarded high-level scientific and technological innovation competitions such as the "Challenge Cup" as key platforms for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship education. The university has built a three-tier training system comprising campus-level selection and cultivation, provincial-level enhancement, and national-level advancement. Through measures such as setting up science and innovation tutor studios, holding university-level science and innovation competitions, and building achievement transformation platforms, HNUST has continuously stimulated students' innovative potential, gradually fostering a healthy educational ecology that "promotes learning, research, and innovation through competitions."
