2022-09-06

Ⅰ. Youth Education

/Technical talent cultivation/

2020 Chung Yuan Christian University ROS+AI talent development program

Through donations from the foundation, ADLINK cooperated with Chung Yuan Christian University to jointly set up an AI robot 5G network laboratory with Foxconn and Intel, and launched the first robot operating system and AI course in Taiwan in the Department of Computer Science of Chung Yuan University College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The teachers and equipment are provided by ADLINK, and Foxconn donated 5G mmWave network equipment worth millions. The aim of the project is to cultivate high-level technical talents who are experts of 5G networks and autonomous mobile robots (AMR).

At present, there are still few institutes around the world that offer Robot OS (ROS2) courses, and Chung Yuan Christian University is also the first in Taiwan to offer the course. Chung Yuan Christian University is focused on the demand for robotics talent and technologies of automotive factories and large technology companies. The Department of Computer Science of Chung Yuan University voted and decided to commit 1/3 of teachers to accept ADLINK's ROS2 course and use it to guide students to meet the needs of cutting-edge industries.

Talent Foundation

A smart AMR laboratory was established to be responsible for the three major tasks of teaching, promotion and research, and the ROS teaching materials (pilot run) were introduced year by year in the courses of the Department of Computer Science.

On-campus Promotion

College-level elective courses were established for students from the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The college worked with the on-campus robotics club to hold club-level study activities and school-level robotics competitions. Short-term study courses during the winter and summer vacations were organized for the public to promote the ROS platform.

Donated Epidemic Prevention Public Health Computers to National Taiwan University Hospital in 2021

ADLINK and AUO jointly donated 20 sets of epidemic prevention and public health computers to National Taiwan University Hospital to respond to policies and promote Taiwan's smart medical care together. We aimed to protect the health of medical personnel and the public, and comprehensively start the digital transformation of smart medical care, allowing test sites and medical health education information to be conveyed without worry.

Jim Liu, Chairman of ADLINK, said that the company has been operating in the smart healthcare industry for many years, focusing on critical application environments such as intensive care units and operating rooms, which have no room for error. This time, we are honored to assist in the donation of 20 high-end public health computers to National Taiwan University Hospital. We hope to shorten the cleaning and maintenance time of equipment for medical staff with products and equipment that meet the required hygiene standards. We are more focused on personal protection equipment (PPE) and patient treatment.

/Youth Development Program/

The ADLINK Foundation has accumulated many young volunteers and students due to its more than ten years of organizing camps. At this point, some of the fifth and sixth graders of elementary schools have grown into college-age students. Some have just graduated from college and entered the workforce. For the foundation, long-term communication with the ADLINK children to provide care is the goal. We hope that through the organization of the youth development courses, we can become a site of perpetual support for every ADLINK child returning home every year. We will provide the means for self-growth and career development. It is more important to understand the needs and provide appropriate assistance in a timely manner.

The summer of 2021 coincided with ADLINK's relocation of our offices. In order to reduce the burden on employees who are parents and achieve the idea of "parents can work with peace of mind, children can learn with fun", in addition to letting ADLINK's children study in the new office space, they can also get to know the company their parents work for. Parents are invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the events for their children and the presentations of the results, so that the parents and children can develop closer relationships!

Ⅱ. Caring for the Disadvantaged

/Life education for the disabled/

“Mixed Disabled Arts Group” campus life education

The "Mixed Disability Variety Art Troupe" is a performance art group for the disabled that has been supported by the ADLINK Foundation for a long time since its establishment. The members include people with visual impairment, physical disabilities, speech and hearing impairments, amputations, and rare diseases. Over the years, the campus life education embodies the concept of "never give up and cherish life". The head of the group, Ming Liu, and several members of the group also have outstanding winning records such as the Broadcasting Golden Bell Award, the Ten Outstanding Young People, and the Golden Eagle Award. The visually impaired can play musical instruments, the limb impaired can dance with crutches, the amputee can dance and play the piano, and even climb to the top of Yushan. The climb to the top is successful, and the members of the group are all equipped with unique skills, and the possibility of life is not limited by physical obstacles.

The ADLINK Foundation has supported the "Mixed Disability Variety Art Troupe" to promote life education on campus for many years. Through performances interspersed with interviews, and the life stories of team members overcoming obstacles with their tenacity and bravery, children can learn to love, appreciate and respect differences. At the same time, we aim to open up new career paths for friends with disabilities.

The "Mixed Disability Variety Art Troupe" holds almost 100 performances every year. Due to the impact of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, invitations from various units have been cancelled one after another, which has greatly affected the members of the group who make a living by performing. Ming Liu expressed his great gratitude to the ADLINK Foundation for its uninterrupted support even during the pandemic, so that members of the group still have basic income from the show.

Budget from 2020 to 2021 was NT$1,600,000. A total of 29 life education events were held from 2020 to 2021

/After-school tutoring for the disadvantaged/

Boyo Social Welfare Benefits Foundation comprehensive tutoring from 2020 to 2021

From 2013 to 2021, the ADLINK Foundation continued to donate funds for the promotion of Boyo comprehensive tutoring.

Established in 2002, the Boyo Foundation adheres to the philosophy of "not letting poor children fall into eternal poverty". Through the two major service methods of social work and education, it cultivates community teachers, develops learning materials and lays a solid foundation, and uses social resources to keep children healthy, expand their horizons, and continue cooperation with all fields.

It is hoped that the innate inequality will be eliminated, so that children in remote areas will have sufficient learning resources and opportunities, and enhance their future competitiveness, achieving the vision of “bringing knowledge home”. It is hoped that in the near future, the children can truly "lift themselves out of poverty", have a home full of hope, and no longer fall into the cycle of poverty.

Taoyuan Gaorong Social Care Association tutoring for the disadvantaged from 2020 to 2021

Taoyuan Gaorong Social Care Association is located at the junction of Zhongli, Pingzhen and Yangmei districts in Taoyuan. The residents of the communities are mostly blue collar workers and from immigrant or disadvantaged backgrounds. Association Chairman Mr. Xi-Nian Yang, an honorary professor of Tsinghua University School of Computer Science, and his wife, Ms. Yu-Hui Chen, who is a distinguished professor in the Department of Chemistry of Chung Yuan University, have spared no effort in helping community residents and providing diverse knowledge learning and educational resources.

Tutoring classes were established by Gaorong Social Care Association at Guoling Junior High School in November 2015 and at Zhongping Elementary School in February 2016. The service has been provided without interruption to 2021. With the long-term donations of ADLINK

Foundation starting in 2015, the Association was able to provide an environment suitable for studying to children from disadvantaged families. These children are able to learn and grow with enough care and love.

Since 2017, ADLINK Education Foundation has led young Taiwanese students to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for three consecutive summers to learn from the magnificent nature and the ancient Tibetan people. After each year's exploration, the rich texts recorded by ADLINK youths are collected and published in the tour of Qinghai-Tibet books: "Ascension to the Mountain - Touched by Beauty", "Ascension to the Mountain Part Two - Tibetan", and "Ascension to the Mountain Part 3 - The Origin of the Light". In 2020, the ADLINK Qinghai-Tibet Exploration Photography Exhibition was held at the "1st Floor Gallery of Olympus Plaza Taipei, Dadaocheng" from October 17th to October 26th. Through the photographs, videos and other images, the impressions and achievements of ADLINK's youth's exploration were shared with the audience, conveying the great love and respect Tibetans have for the land and life.

ADLINKers must not miss such a rare and beautiful opportunity to admire the beauty of Qinghai-Tibet. So the concept of the ADLINK Cultural Art Gallery was born. The Foundation will divide all the exhibits in Dadaocheng into exhibitions for the four quarters starting from August 12, 2021, in the corridor of the B1 staff cafeteria in Building B of ADLINK’s factory.

/Publications/

In 2020, ADLINK Foundation sponsored:

Shu Mei Culture and Arts Foundation "Taoyuan City COVID-19 Quarantine Book Donation Project" "Flying Farther Than Butterflies - 43 Kinds of Life Created by the Wuhan Effect"

As the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the world, in 2020, in order to prevent the spread of the virus in Taiwan, many travelers from abroad were quarantined. Take Taoyuan City as an example, at the time, about 2,000 quarantine kits were needed for the quarantined people. However, the quarantine packages provided by the city government only contained quarantine-related information, masks, snacks, and instant noodles.

To this end, the Shu Mei Culture Foundation sponsored the purchase of the book "Flying Farther Than Butterflies - 43 Kinds of Life Created by the Wuhan Effect" through the ADLINK Foundation. The books were donated to the Taoyuan City Government, so that while taking care of the health of the quarantined, we also care for their spirit.

Zi-Zhen Chu, Captain of the Women's and Children's Police Force, "The Desire of Youth: 10 Years of Experience as the Captain of the Youth, Women’s and Children's Police Force, Keeping Children From Harm” books and seminars

In view of the diverse channels for children and teenagers to obtain information in modern times, many children have gone astray under the influence of the Internet and their peers, resulting in juvenile drug use, becoming drivers for scam groups, online prostitution, sexual assault, sexual harassment, domestic violence and other problems. Parents often feel helpless and are unable to provide proper guidance.

As Captain of the Youth, Women’s and Children's Police Force, Zi-Zhen CHu has handled countless cases in the past 10 years. She compiled these personal experiences and published "The Desire of Youth: 10 Years of Experience as the Captain of the Youth, Women’s and Children's Police Force, Keeping Children From Harm". ADLINK Foundation specially worked with the author and donated the book, as well as held two lectures on 8/27 and 9/2 for parents of elementary school and middle school children, respectively. We invited Captain Zi-Zhen Chu to talk about the book and to discuss the problems faced by ADLINK employees and teenagers in schools, and to help parents lead their adolescent children away from the harm that may be caused by their growth.
