Topic: Transferring Technologies in Labs to Industry

Academic research differs from the development of translational technologies that aim for real-world applications in terms of objectives, approaches, etc. To develop a technology to a real product, academic people need to be prepared for challenges that are hardly seen in academic research. In this talk, we would like to share our experiences in transferring robotics technologies developed at the research labs to industrial sectors. The start-ups from CUHK T Stone Robotics Institute will be used as examples to explain the challenges to be overcome and to demonstrate the opportunities for commercialization of Hong Kong’s innovative technologies in the Greater Bay Area, Mainland and the world as well.
