Laboratory tour
The delegation toured the FJ005 Laboratory, where the students learned about TASLAB’s experimental environment and research platforms for trustworthy artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. The tour introduced robotic platforms, sensing equipment and integrated navigation technologies used in research on perception, positioning and autonomous operation.

Research at AAE
The visitors also learned about selected research achievements of PolyU’s Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering (AAE). Using the department’s research displays, Prof. Wen introduced current projects and discussed how advances in aeronautical and aviation engineering connect with intelligent sensing, navigation and autonomous systems.
The visit gave the undergraduate students an opportunity to experience PolyU’s research environment and gain first-hand insight into ongoing work at TASLAB and AAE. It also strengthened mutual understanding and created opportunities for future academic exchange in navigation, remote sensing and autonomous systems.
