HKCLR developed the innovative Smart Manipulation Software Plaltform to bridges the gap between hardware, algorithm, and system integration, thus enabling the quick implemention of the smart grasping system in real scenarios.
Different grasping and manipulation tasks require adaptive algorithms(robot vision and robot control), robot hardware systems(cameras, robotic arms and manipulators), and specific system deployment. This software platform provides a rich algorithm library, mainstream robot hardware interface support, flexible scene deployment set-up, online artificial intelligence data training, and user-friendly operation logic and interface, so as to achieve quick implementation of the smart grasping system in real scenarios.
The 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
• Human-Robot Collaboration
• Smart Manipulation Robots
• 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 Mainland China. It is expected that the Centre will foster the leading role of the local logistics industry in GBA and Mainland China, meanwhile enhancing its competitive edge in the global arena.
