On July 24, 2025, VPRI Professor Chrstopher Chao, FENG Dean Professor H.C. Man, Associate Professor Pai Zheng, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Dr Chili Wu, Deputy Director and Chief Researcher of PReCIT, and Ms. Amylia Chan, Assistant Director of KTEO visited the National Centre of Technology Innovation for Intelligent Design and Numerical Control (NCDC) at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China. PolyU delegates held discussions with Professor Liang Gao, Vice President of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Director of NCDC, Professor Xinyu Li, Vice Dean of the School of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Professor Jianzhong Yang, Executive Deputy Director of NCDC, Dr Zixun Liu of the Institute of Science and Technology Development, and Professor Hao Li and Professor Mi Xiao of the Department of Industrial Engineering. Both parties expressed a strong willingness to cooperate in the establishment of the "NCDC - Hong Kong Centre" and fully discussed the collaborative opportunities of the development plan.
This memorandum is for both parties to further explore the co-development framework of the NCDC - Hong Kong Centre, focusing on fields such as human-robot collaborative manufacturing systems, ultra-precision machining CNC systems, workshop and logistics scheduling and management, industrial foundation models and embodied intelligence, intelligent design and interactive systems, etc., facing the main battlefield and major needs of the national economy, giving play to Hong Kong's location advantages and international cutting-edge innovation capabilities, and cooperating to complement each other and overcome critical challenges. It is also agreed that the formal contract will be signed after both parties reach an agreement on the detailed conditions and arrangements of the cooperation and obtain the necessary approvals from relevant departments. For PolyU, the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering will be the executive department of the center.
