Problem addressed

HKCLR aims to address the challenges of intelligent adaptation and operation of robots in dynamic, unstructured environments, expanding the application boundaries of robotics in daily life, logistics, and industrial scenarios.

Innovation
  • Integrates foundation models with robotic perception and control modules, enabling high-level semantic understanding, reasoning, and decision-making in complex environments.
  • The system demonstrates strong generalization across tasks and environments, reducing development and customization costs while accelerating practical deployment in diverse fields such as logistics, healthcare, and home assistance.
Key impact
  • Capable of handling complex, dynamic, and uncertain tasks that rule-based or manually programmed systems fail to address, especially in real-world service and industrial scenarios.
  • The system demonstrates strong generalization across tasks and environments, reducing development and customization costs while accelerating practical deployment in diverse fields such as logistics, healthcare, and home assistance.
Application
  • Domestic assistance, including household support, kitchen operations, and human-robot interaction for smart home environments
  • Logistics and warehousing, including intelligent sorting, collaborative handling, and multi-robot coordination in distribution centers and supply chains
  • Industrial collaboration, including flexible loading/unloading, precision assembly, and human-robot collaboration in smart manufacturing

Hong Kong Centre for Logistics Robotics was established in 2020 by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, with research contributions from the University of California, Berkeley. The Centre focuses on the research and development (R&D) of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for “future workplace” as well as innovative solutions to the “pressing problems” in the logistics industry. In particular, HKCLR aims to advance robot intelligence in terms of

• Robust Sensing and Perception

• AI-Powered Robot Manipulation

• Human-Robot Collaboration

• Unmanned Logistics Vehicles

The research team is composed of distinguished professors from the two universities and accomplished Ph.D. degree holders across world-leading universities. The Centre is dedicated to pursuing innovative breakthroughs in ready-for-use robotics and AI technologies via close collaboration with academic and industrial stakeholders throughout Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area (GBA), and Chinese Mainland. It is expected that the Centre will foster the leading role of the local logistics industry in GBA and Chinese Mainland, meanwhile enhancing its competitive edge in the global arena.
