The SDJU Technology Gallery’s exhibitions, demos, and workshops invite visitors to participate in the ongoing adventure of research and innovation. The Gallery displays objects it is crammed full of, and presents regular programs and events including guided gallery tours, demonstrations by SDJU faculty and students, and workshops in its research laboratories.
The SDJU Technology Gallery engages the wider community with SDJU’s science, technology, and other areas of scholarship in ways that will best serve the area and the nation on the ‘Made in China 2025’ initiative. The Gallery is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and exhibiting materials that serve as a resource for the study and interpretation of the role of Shanghai Dianji University in the lengthy development of modern science and technology.

Demos On View
AGV
Electromagnetic field, the theory of which was contributed by Ampere and Faraday, and finally completed and formulated by Maxwell, can be used as a signal to guide objects in motion. As a demonstration of electromagnetic control, automatic guided vehicles, abbreviated to AGVs, commonly navigate by following signal-emitting wires entrenched in concrete floors. Such machines are nowadays popularly used to move materials in modern industrial environment without the need of an operator or driver.
Laser Engraving
Explore the basic machine tool of laser engraving in the SDJU Technology Gallery. The laws of quantum mechanics require the energy spectrum of the atom to be discrete rather than a continuum, which brings laser into existence as a device that stimulates the transition between different energy levels, in the form of light at a particular wavelength. This is why concentration and well-controlled precision are often presumably designated as the principal characteristics of laser beam.
We comport ourselves with the provision of the modern demonstration that makes prints from metal or crystal plates, into which a design is to be engraved with laser. Instead of being perverted to create weapons of destruction, the technique of laser engraving is widely used in jewellery, semi-conductor, and medical industries.
