Research Team

Under PolyU’s Research Group of AI for Industrial Digital Servitization (RAIDS)

 

Students:

  • Tsang Chin-lok, Mphil student (Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering)

  • Li Chengxi, PhD student (Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE))

  • Kwok Hin-chi, undergraduate student (ISE)

  • Other members of RAIDS

Supervisor:

The project aims to improve collaboration between humans and robots in the manufacturing industry through harnessing technologies such as cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR). The team’s system combines robots' high levels of accuracy, reliability, and repeatability with humans' flexibility and adaptability to optimise productivity for various manufacturing assembly tasks in a shared workspace.

 

The Judging Panel of the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2022 said: “It is believed that this project has high potential to become a very successful example, realising local R&D in Hong Kong’s industrial transformation, and leading the development of Hong Kong’s Industry 5.0.”

The project emulates the interaction between human operators and robots in an AR environment.
