iLab received HKUEAA (HKU Engineering Alumni Association) Homecoming Walk on 15 October 2023

iLab had the great pleasure of receiving 4 groups of 80 visitors from the HKUEAA (HKU Engineering Alumni Association) Homecoming Walk on 15 October 2023. The visitors included some very senior figures from government departments, MTR, CLP, and other organisations, who mingled well with the younger generation and even children. That gave a good exposure to both the young and senior generations about the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry and the innovations and technologies at the frontier.

iLab director Chair Professor Wilson W.S. Lu, Deputy Directors, Dr Frank Xue, Dr Junjie Chen, and the team introduced their R&D projects including ‘MiC Three Treasures’ (MiC三寶), ‘i-Core’ for boardwalk and MiC tracking and safe installation/hoisting, robots and laser scanning for construction site progress and quality inspection, and other blockchain, robotics, and AI-enabled digital construction technologies.
