On April 9, 2026, the Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Geomatics (RCAIG) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) was honored to host 28 students and 3 faculty members from the Hong Kong College of Technology (HKCT).
Professor Qihao Weng, Director of the JC STEM Lab of Earth Observations and RCAIG, along with his lab members, extended a warm welcome to the visitors. During a guided tour of the RCAIG, Professor Weng shared the center’s history, its core mission, and its current groundbreaking projects. Following the tour, Mr. Longjie Ye, an RCAIG PhD candidate, demonstrated a 360-degree scanning sensor, sparking the students' interest in scientific innovation. Other RCAIG researchers also actively engaged in the exchange, sharing their specialized expertise and providing insights into the diverse research areas currently being explored at the center.
Professor Weng also held a Q&A session, answering students' questions and inspiring them to envision practical applications of technology in solving real-world challenges.
The exchange provided a valuable platform for knowledge sharing between RCAIG and HKCT. By opening our doors to aspiring students and faculty, we aim to bridge the gap between advanced research and practical education. RCAIG remains dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment that encourages the exploration of emerging technologies and their potential to solve global challenges.
