AI Applications Hall

Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC)’s “AI Applications Hall” showcases a collection of the latest Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) solutions, featuring both homegrown innovations and partner collaborations. These solutions span across various sectors, including smart living, smart office, and smart manufacturing, so as to embrace innovation and technology to build a world-famed Smart Hong Kong characterised by a strong economy and high quality of living, realising the vision of “Smart City”.

Located on LG1 of the HKPC Building, AI Applications Hall hosts a range of innovative A.I. research and development (R&D) and applications by HKPC, numerous partners and exhibitors. Among the exhibits on display are “InspecSpider” - Spider Robot with AI solution on Rusting Grading Determination, “SYBIL – System for Bottleneck Intelligence in Logistics”, and “Robotic-based AI Damage Inspection Using Non-contact Ultrasonic Technique”, etc. Each closely connected to everyday life, the exhibits are the true reflection of how innovation and technology are helping us move towards. It is worth noting that some of these solutions have received international recognition for their outstanding performance. Additionally, a few of them have been successfully commercialised and are currently in use in the market.

Visitors will have an inspiring tour and a deeper understanding about how a A.I. technology comes into being, from “ideation” to “innovation”, from “problems” to “solutions”. Industries and the public are cordially invited to visit AI Applications Hall to explore and experience the unlimited potentials, as well as exchange insights on the latest A.I. trends.

It takes the concerted efforts of all citizens in order for Hong Kong to achieve smart city initiatives. HKPC hopes to connect and collaborate with all industries to share and promote the best practices in A.I. applications.

Exhibits Highlights

Spider Robot with AI solution on Rusting Grading Determination

Spider Robot with AI solution on Rusting Grading Determination

“InspecSpider” is the first innovative robotic solution in Hong Kong for the detection and maintenance of rust in high mast lightings. It can be applied in various infrastructure scenarios such as airports, bridges, stadiums, highways, and tunnels. If the rust on high-mast lighting is not promptly addressed, it can lead to significant threats to the safety of vehicles and pedestrians, such as metal surface peeling and even collapse of the light poles. The robot's flexible operating mode eliminates the need for workers to work aloft, replaces manual inspection work, and simplifies the road closure application process required for traditional manual inspection, minimised the economic impact and inconvenience caused by road closure. The “InspecSpider” has been field-tested at the Hong Kong International Airport, and overseas airport is also interested in introducing the technology and commencing technology docking. The core technologies used in the R&D project are expected to be used in other scenarios in the future, including water canals, bridges, nuclear power plants, etc., replacing manual inspection and enabling the upgrading and transformation of more facility-related traditional industries.

SYBIL - System for Bottleneck Intelligence in Logistics

SYBIL - System for Bottleneck Intelligence in Logistics

“SYBIL” is a software which optimises the performance of material handling systems, offering real-time visualisation for increased transparency, and providing real-time bottleneck detection, prediction, and root cause analysis enabled by artificial intelligence.
