For us, InnoHK ’ s specific focus on AI and robotics makes it the ideal base for the world-class collaborative projects that CAIR has in the pipeline. More importantly, the infrastructure and community in Hong Kong also help us attract top-notch talent to co-create solutions for the Greater Bay Area.
- Brain-inspired Intelligence is the grand challenge for achieving Human-level Artificial Intelligence.
- The efforts on Brain-inspired Intelligence focus on understanding and simulating the cognitive brain at multiple scales as well as its applications to brain-inspired intelligent systems.
- The main research of CAIR in AI theory focuses on Brain-inspired Intelligence includes but not limited to neural computation and cognitive brain modeling, neuromorphic computing systems, Brain-inspired information processing, and neural robotics.
- Brain-inspired Intelligence is a long term strategic scientific program proposed by Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA). As the founding member of CAIR, CASIA will provide essential support to accelerate CAIR's research in this field.
Existing efforts of medical robots focus on mechanical design and actuation control. However, the lack of sensing and perception capability is one major technology bottleneck.
- Objective：create augmented sensing capability and machine intelligence for flexible surgical robots, to enhance effectiveness of the physical interaction between the robot and patient.
- Strength：CAIR has developed the core platform technology for flexible minimally invasive surgical robot, including intelligent haptic sensing, collaborative control, and self-localization and navigation.
