BREED Robotics 2020

BREED is a student group committed to developing and promoting bio-inspired technology. Our flagship VAYU project – the world’s fastest robotic fish – and our upcoming initiatives such as our robotic dog aim to educate and enhance awareness in the general student body. Using designs perfected by millions of years of natural evolution, we adapt selected features into increasing effectiveness of man-made robots. We aim to establish a hub based in the Innovation Wing where this development can take root in the local community, increasing awareness and interest while promoting scientific innovation: this will be done through outreach projects, educational initiatives, as well as the continuation of various bio-inspired initiatives under BREED.

SIG – HKU Unmanned Aerial System (HKU UAS)

HKU UAS is a student interest group focusing on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). We aim to gather self-motivated drone lovers to learn and work on drone projects together. Not only to gain a lot of hands-on experience, by joining us, you could improve your mechanical skills and learn and apply electrical and computer science skills.

With the support of Innovation Wing, we plan to join competitions to test our knowledge and skills, also to learn from other teams and gain valuable experience. In 2022, the team build the system based on the rules of AUVSI SUAS 2023.
The AUVSI SUAS Competition is a yearly event, designed to stimulate interest in UAS technologies and careers, and to engage students in a challenging UAS mission.

SAE Design, Build and Drive

HKU racing is the University of Hong Kong’s very first motorsports team. Founded in late July of 2018.
Formula Student is a renowned educational engineering competition, combining practical engineering with soft skills including business planning and project management.
WE as a team are now planning on joining FSUK, Which means the Formula student competition in the UK. Team members will design and build a racing car from the ground up. The car is required to perform in numerous dynamic events that will prove the car’s capabilities in terms of speed and reliability.

Chair Stacking System

The Chair Stacking System(CSS) aims to build an intelligent system for the centre that helps to stack up chairs in conference rooms. The chair stacking system detects and stacking chairs automatically. The machine mainly consists of lifting system and robotic arms system, which is programmed by using Arduino platform. The lifting system acts as the basic support, and it controls vertical position of the arms. The robotic arms provide accurate movement to grab chairs in hand. Various mechanisms that are used, including belt-driven actuator, lead screw actuator, rack and pinion, and etc.
