Visit to Material Tech for starting COMP Students’ Capstone Project

I appreciated Mr. Felix Chan (Managing Director, Material Tech) and Mr. Herman Tang (Assistant General Manager) support COMP students’ capstone project “LKH2: Robot Arm Control System for Concrete Cube Handling” and I lead my students to visit their construction laboratory named “Material Tech Co. Ltd.” on 9^th Sep 2025. At the end of visit, we took a group photo inside the laboratory for memory. (Remark: Unfortunately, Ting Kam Kei was sick and Mak Ka Chun was not available.)

In the beginning, Mr. Herman Tang (Assistant General Manager) briefed us the general operation and business of Material Tech.

Then he led us to visit the workshop and testing laboratories. He explained the Rebar Tensile Strength.

Equipment and software used for measuring of steel bar thread.

Workshop for tailor-make fixture used for specific tests.

Concrete cubes conditioning moisture room was mentioned.

The key test for students’ capstone project was “To measure the dimension and weight of small concrete cubes” which was planned to use robotic arm in near future.

The operation was demonstrated.

For robotic arm pick up movement, they would arrange another area with enough space for pick up the small concretes and then move to dimension measure site, as well as, weight balance. Lastly, move the small concretes back to the table.
