Introduction

Our Programmes

Our Research Programmes will focus on developing solutions to address the pain-points in manufacturing using Artificial Intelligence and advanced robotics for manufacturing technologies. Projects and programs are being developed to facilitate the re-industrialization in Hong Kong. We evaluate the projects based on their relevance to industrial and societal problems, and focus on delivering the key premises, practically ensuring transferability and commercial viability of the developed technologies.
