In Search of Pioneering Discoveries in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

There is a discipline under artificial intelligence (AI) that studies how the human brain works on complex issues — how we make decisions based on past evidence, how we form concepts about the world around us, how we perceive other people, how we analyse with logic, etc., and applies these neuroscience knowledge for the development of next-generation AI, thus building algorithms and systems with human-like intelligence which can adapt under different contexts, perceive human intension, and develop robots that can benefit  different industries in manufacturing, smart home and even medical services.

To accelerate this progress and hence industrialisation with AI-enabled robotics, the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR) is set to bring together world-class talent and promote collaborations across the Asia-Pacific region to create a dynamic environment for vigorous exchange of knowledge. The establishment of CAIR is to support the innovation development in the fields of AI and robotics in Hong Kong, bringing new opportunities across multiple sectors and geographies.

The Centre has four major areas of research:

  • Fundamental theory of the next generation Artificial Intelligence: facing the academic frontier, exploring the basic mechanism and basic theory of brain-inspired intelligence science, and seeking for theories and methods of autonomous evolutionary intelligence and complex system intelligence with international influence.
  • New type of human computer interaction technology and equipment: developing a series of interaction technology that can recognise human intention through a fusion of different senses such as visual, auditory and tactile aspects, as well as strength and motion.
  • Flexible robot and intelligent assistive technology: striving to meet with ever growing demand of healthcare for aging societies by innovating sensing and assistive capability of healthcare robotic systems to advance the digitalisation, standardisation and  democratisation of high quality healthcare services.  
  • AI open platform: integrating AI software and hardware platforms to build an AI open platform based on medical health and intelligent manufacturing.
