Congratulations to Tony CHUI and Jacky SHIN, students studying PhD in Integrative Systems and Design, on receiving the Red Dot: Best of the Best Design Award 2025!

Joined ISD under the supervision of Prof. SONG Shenghui, Associate Professor of the Division of Integrative Systems and Design, and co-founded Novasdyne with KONG Xiao Jian, their company project “Chopstick - Autonomous Embodied AI Robot” introduces an autonomous AI-powered robot built with smart swarm intelligence and human-robot interaction, aiming to address the anticipated challenges of labor shortages driven by the aging population and reluctance for labor-intensive work. It features dual robotic arms to perform complex and repetitive hazardous tasks, an active suspension wheel system, and dual interchangeable batteries complemented by hot-swap battery stations, enabling 24/7 operation. Its deployment would be a new way to enhance productivity.
