Design, Build, Fly is a project for students to design and manufacture an airplane. Our team aims at producing a radio-controlled fixed-wing aircraft that conveys a predefined liquid payload in a flight circuit. This is to demonstrate its payload carrying capability with the lightest airframe. Through this project, students could apply technical and interpersonal skills to building an airplane with unconventional configurations.
The Automatic Chair Parking System aims to provide a smart solution in classroom and
other similar environment by helping to move and arrange chairs, while reducing the risk of occupational injuries and potential dangers related to the repetitive works. This can also reduce the reliance on labor force and ultimately improve the efficiency. The system therefore is designed to autonomously transport chairs to the designated parking area with minimal human control.
A rogue-like video game for our final project of COMP3329.
Hacking Wong follows the story of an outlandish twist to a mundane part of student life – submitting assignments. The character is late to submit his assignment and must reach the CS lab before the deadline, however, that is easier said than done since the lab is locked and he now finds himself being attacked by exploding frogs, shock boars and fire breathing dragons. Roam around the HKU campus in search of the TA who holds the key and defeat all enemies in this action-packed adventure.
Scoliosis is typically diagnosed from X-ray images, but diagnostic X-rays increase the risk of developmental problems and cancer in those exposed. This project aims to eliminate children’s X-ray exposure in the early diagnosis of scoliosis by generating X-ray images of children’s backs from the corresponding harmless RGB-D images. In this project, a deep learning model based on HRNet was built and trained to detect landmark locations of the backs on the RGB-D images first. With the detected landmarks, the X-ray images of the children’s backs were eventually synthesized from the corresponding RGB-D images by another deep learning model that was built and trained based on the pix2pix model.
Automation is the technology about combination of hardware and software to complete designated tasks with minimal manual intervention. Automation was first applied to automobile industry in the 1970s and started to extend its use in daily life since then. Automatic system has its advantages over traditional manpower in doing repetitive tasks, e.g., it maintains a high-quality standard and safety standard.
This project, the Automatic Chair Stacking System, will be cooperating with the Automatic Chair Parking System to showcase the idea of automatic conference room, i.e., to automatically set up chairs in the area.
The classic snake game was always confined to a 2D plane. What if it was played in higher dimensions like 3D? Or even 4D? This is Snake 4D.
A large-scale industry project to develop a train data visualization and analysis platform aiming to minimize train delay through optimization of train schedule and movement for incident response recommendation.
This project aims to design and develop a smart soccer robot by using some typical engineering techniques such as laser cutting, 3D printing, CAD design, Arduino control, etc. Students are able to learn different engineering principles and skills in the modern world, with an emphasis on engineering innovation, businesses, systems, and entrepreneurship, and how to bring new ideas to market in both engineering startups and corporate settings.
When the internet first came into existence, it came with a mission: to bring people closer together. After more than 20 years of development, we have witnessed the birth of many life-changing innovations like social networks. They can help in connecting us with more and more people, even distant ones, yet only in a virtual form. This is where the problem starts to emerge: virtual content and connections are dominating our lives, disconnecting us from the real world. This is a problem we would like to address with Ping. It is a next-generation social network aiming at reconnecting our users back to reality so that our users will be able to pay more attention to the people and events around them, but not only to the virtual content shown on a 5-inch screen in front of them.
The app developed by our team is called Hearoad. This app is inspired by the Lennon Wall’s idea. We find out that Lennon Wall is popular among teenagers on expressing feelings and emotions, so we decided to develop an app using AR technique to simulate the Lennon Wall.
Our app having the functions to create memos written with your thoughts, opinions or feelings and we can stick these memos in the argument world using the AR technique. By applying the cloud technique, users can also read the memo written by other users and respond to the memo’s writer. The aims of our app are providing an innovative way for people to express their feelings, it has the features of location based and without filter bubble or echo chamber.
