Visit to PolyU Cyber-Physical System Laboratory and Industrial Centre

I with CityU and PolyU friends to visit PolyU Cyber-Physical System Laboratory and Industrial Centre on 6^th Jan 2021.  Firstly, we met Dr. Carman Lee (Asso. Professor, ISE, PolyU) and discussed how to contribute for students in terms of smart manufacturing internship, work integrated experience, etc.

The Cyber-Physical System Laboratory is under Department of Industrial and System Engineering, PolyU and its previous was RFID laboratory.

I took a photo in front of Dual Arm Robot.

Other robots were demonstrated.  The most difficult to handle was five fingers robot arm.

After that we visit Industrial Centre and went to the University Research Facility – 3D Printing Technology.

Dr. CC Cheung (Senior Engineering Manager (Additive Manufacturing), Industrial Centre, PolyU) led us to visit the centre.

He introduced different types of 3D Printing Technology and most projects were related to medical and health science. 

Then he briefed the metal additive manufacturing technology for 3D metal printing.

Two metal 3D printers were showed.

Dr. Cheung described the products.

The most advanced 3D printer is AJ300 Printed Electronic System which was employed Aerosol Jet Printing technology.  The equipment is purchased from USA before and only one in Hong Kong.

It could print senor circuit for testing.

Details of specification is showed in this label.

Finally, we had a meeting and it was observed that each seat was separated by transparent plastic sheet for Covid-19 control.
