The Industrial Centre (IC) of PolyU boasts no shortage of gems waiting for treasure hunters to discover. On 29 March 2023, a group of alumni came back to visit this “Technical Library” and had an eye-opening experience learning about PolyU’s latest engineering facilities and equipment.
Our participants were excited about exploring different areas of the IC. For instance, they went to the fifth floor that features 3D printing technologies, where the instructor demonstrated how they could aid researches in healthcare, engineering, product and fashion design. Another highlight of the tour was the Hybrid Immersive Virtual Environment (HIVE), which uses virtual technology to create a lifelike environment that enriches teaching and learning. Our alumni also participated in the Robotic and Automation Workshop at the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Lab (AIR Lab), where they were amazed by the world’s first autonomous case-handling robotic (ACR) system developed by Hai Robotics – established by two young alumni, this company is the first unicorn start-up nurtured under PolyU’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.
All participants found this campus tour intriguing. As always, our Alumni Tourcations not only aim at taking a walk down memory lane by visiting campus attractions, but also endeavour to showcase PolyU’s research facilities that all members are proud of.

Very fruitful and knowledgeable. I can know more about PolyU’s innovation and technology development.
