Mission

The Centre for Future Technologies in Construction envisions a transformative shift in the construction industry, where labor shortages, safety risks, and inefficiencies are addressed through advanced technologies such as human–robot collaboration. Its mission is to

Partner with leading advanced technology and robotic companies to develop next-generation construction technologies and robots capable of performing the most demanding and hazardous tasks in construction work

Design intuitive, worker-centric interfaces that enable seamless interaction between humans and robots

Ensure the responsible and ethical integration of AI-powered technologies and robotics with a strong emphasis on safety, transparency, and social accountability.

By driving innovation at the intersection of advanced technologies, robotics, AI, and construction, the Centre aims to accelerate automation and build a safer, smarter, and more sustainable future for the industry.

Vision

To realize this vision, the initiative to establish the Centre for Future Technologies in Construction (CFTC) will unite the 智能建造与建筑研究中心 in Hangzhou (MDO), 智能建造实验室-地鏈系列產品生產中心in Hangzhou (MYRI), Hong Kong Government, industry stakeholders, and leading technology and robotics firms. By integrating academic research with real-world deployment, the project will deliver a scalable worker–robot collaboration system that reduces labor dependency, boosts productivity, and enhances safety and worker well-being on construction sites.
