In the global craze of GPT, people have deeply realized that AI, as a transformative technology and key force in economic and social development, will bring great leaps and breakthroughs to the global industry and profoundly influence the future world competition pattern. As the builder and operator of information and communication infrastructure, the telecom sector provides infrastructure support for the development of AI, and even takes the lead in the implementation of AI applications. How to enable the application of AIGC (GPT) and implement AIGC in the telecom sector are questions that telecom practitioners must ponder and answer. Through the study of GPT, a typical representative of AIGC, the authors have analyzed how GPT empowers the telecom sector in the form of scenarios, discussed the gap between the current GPT general model and telecom services, proposed for the first time a Telco Augmented Cognition capability system, provided answers to how to construct a telecom service GPT in the telecom sector, and carried out various practices. Our counterparts in the industry are expected to focus on collaborative innovation around telecom and AI, build an open and shared innovation ecosystem, promote the deep integration of AI and telecom sector, and accelerate the construction of next-generation information infrastructure, in an effort to facilitate the digital transformation of the economy and society.
Robot Spatial Distribution and Boundary Effects Matter in Puck Clustering

Puck Clustering, a particularly widely studied problem domain for self-organized multi-robot systems, involves gathering spatially distributed objects, called pucks, into piles within a planar workspace. Structures in the environment (partially formed clusters) encode information about where clusters should be formed, and their positions are involved in the mechanics of subsequent cluster formation. In this paper, we consider questions regarding the spatial distribution of robots and clusters, and their relation to the boundaries of the workspace. Prior theoretical analysis has assumed a uniform distribution of robots for gathering all objects into a single pile. Yet, in some instances, a disproportionate amount of time may be spent by robots on the boundary. Also, others have documented that the boundary can cause cluster growth itself. This paper considers the problem of clustering square boxes in the center of the workspace. The flat edges of these objects appear to exacerbate the affinity for cluster growth near boundaries. However, by exploiting the shape of our objects, we show that novel "Twisting" and "Digging" operations overcome this effect and enhance production of central clusters. We analyze the dynamics of boundary versus central puck clusters, and investigate how the spatial distribution of the robots changes along with the clustering process: showing stark differences between the standard mode of clustering and the mode we introduce here.
