HKU Robocon 2022 @ 7th Inno Show

Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, SIG Projects, The 7th Engineering Inno Show / By

The annual Robocon competition project allows HKU engineering students from different disciplines to design and fabricate innovative robots with an integration of various advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, computer vision, and real-time embedded control. Besides, it provides hands-on experiences on product design, prototyping, CNC machining, design and fabrication of electric circuit and PCB, control program development, etc.

Furthermore, senior members mentor junior members in each year and hence valuable experiences, knowledge, and skills for design and fabrication of robots can be sustained for next year’s competition. In addition, it enables the HKU students to exchange their knowledge and skills with students from local and other countries’ universities. Therefore, it motivates the students to engage in experiential learning via exploring and integrating various advanced technologies. As a result, students’ innovation and teamwork abilities would be enhanced.

Foodtech – Granola Machine (Nola)

SIG Projects, The 7th Engineering Inno Show / By

Nola is here to enable busy, health-conscious people to make fresh and healthy snacks. We have two main parts to our project; The Nola Machine, which turns ingredients into a granola bar, and the food, namely the Nola Mix (A granola mix) and the syrup as a binder that can be put into the Nola Machine to make the granola bars. This way, users don’t have to worry about buying ingredients and just have to buy our ingredient pack and syrup to put into the machine.

Learning technology

SIG Projects, The 7th Engineering Inno Show / By

As Asian students, we’ve long tolerated the traditional education experience. Rote learning, Disorientation, Societal Pressure, we have been through it all. The long-term consequence is that students become dependent on extrinsic factors (social or parental pressure) and lose sight of what they truly enjoy studying.

LEAN Platform – an online study ecosystem where students can livestream their learning sessions solo or with others and earn tokens for their study time. These tokens can be used to redeem rewards from entertainment brands (fun) or youth education organisations (growth). LEAN incentivizes students’ learning with rewards by brands that can post for free to attract customers. We address the missing link between what students like and the learning journey. Furthermore, we connect with educational institutions to provide growth rewards that foster self-directed learning.

Fully Controllable Underwater Robotic Fish by BREED HKU @ 7th Inno Show

Mechanical Engineering, SIG Projects, The 7th Engineering Inno Show / By

Our robotic fish swimming across the harbour from Central to TST will prove its applicability in seawater.
Along with its prior speed record and additional features, it is beneficial to society because its biomimicry nature doesn’t interfere with marine life like other technology automation such as boats or submarines.
Compared to the previous model, it is much more energy efficient, less polluting, constructed with less material, and thus environmentally friendly.

Technologies for Studying the Human Past

Faculty of Education, Mechanical Engineering, SIG Projects, The 7th Engineering Inno Show / By

We will undertake two major projects in our SIG. The dual goals are to apply both eXtended Reality (XR) and Machine Learning (ML) to studying the human past with archaeology through an exploration of digital humanities potentialities. We will use XR to collect data and to present these data for education and public engagement to teach everyone about the past through archaeology and archaeological fieldwork. We will use ML to improve our ability to find and study ancient sites of the past.
