On 3 November 2025, the Trustworthy AI and Autonomous Systems Laboratory (TASLAB) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) presented its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology at a special exhibition during the annual dinner of The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Asian Pacific Branch in Hong Kong. The event, attended by key figures and professionals from the housing and property management industry, gave the PolyU research team an opportunity to demonstrate practical applications of its drone systems.

The exhibition featured video presentations and the lab’s WALL-E drone models, highlighting capabilities relevant to the housing sector: high-precision autonomous navigation for façade cleaning, AI-powered defect detection, and 3D mapping for building maintenance.
The demonstration attracted strong interest from attendees and led to discussions on how this technology could be integrated into existing workflows for building surveys, maintenance planning and safety compliance.
