The ASTRI sales space attracts quite a few guests to discover varied interactive video games and witness the real-world purposes of cutting-edge applied sciences in on a regular basis life
Organised by the Innovation and Technology Commission, the InnoCarnival formally opened at present at Hong Kong Science Park and can run till 26 October. Under the theme “I&T Unlocks Your Dream“, the occasion goals to foster innovation and expertise (I&T) tradition among the many public.
Ir Dr Ted Suen, Chief Executive Officer of ASTRI, reaffirmed the institute’s dedication to supporting the HKSAR Government in selling science popularisation. He emphasised that such initiatives lay the groundwork for the strong progress of native I&T. “ASTRI remains focused on developing practical, impactful technologies that bring real benefits to society and drive efficiency across industries,” Ir Dr Suen acknowledged. “We are proud to showcase our research achievements to the public at this annual event.”
He described InnoCarnival as a flagship event that attracts a whole bunch of hundreds of tourists annually, expressing hope that it’ll encourage extra younger individuals to pursue careers in innovation and expertise, serving to them unlock their potential and obtain their ambitions.
At ASTRI’s sales space, guests can have interaction in interactive digital expertise demonstrations, get pleasure from generative AI video games, and discover the institute’s cutting-edge improvements, together with a devoted system-on-chip for capsule endoscopy, an automatic large-volume diamond color grading instrument, drone and low-altitude economy-related applied sciences, and the sensible optical precision positioning system tailor-made for modular built-in building (MiC).
1. Wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) for Capsule Endoscopy
ASTRI’s award-winning capsule endoscopy system-on-chip, which boasts ultra-high-speed transmission capabilities greater than seven occasions quicker than conventional model, delivering considerably clearer picture high quality and markedly improved diagnostic accuracy. The chip can also be 42% smaller than conventional designs, establishing its distinctive benefits within the discipline of capsule endoscopy and enabling sufferers to endure extra comfy examinations with out anaesthesia while decreasing the chance of an infection.
2. Automated Diamond Colour Grading
This high-precision automated diamond color grading machine utilises inner reference requirements to remove environmental and human errors, attaining an accuracy of ±0.5 grade. This modern expertise permits steady diamond color analysis on manufacturing traces, simplify workflows and handle the inefficiencies of conventional grading strategies, setting a brand new benchmark for the trade.
3. Drone Technology for Urban Parcel Delivery
ASTRI’s drone resolution optimises light-weight parcel supply in city areas, leveraging superior positioning methods, together with GNSS-RTK, inertial navigation algorithms, and roadside items (RSUs). Its exact navigation ensures dependable operation even in signal-obstructed environments, making it ultimate for emergency medical deliveries. By bypassing city visitors, the system considerably enhances supply velocity and reliability in comparison with standard strategies.
4. Smart Positioning for MiC Construction
ASTRI’s Smart Optic Precision Positioning System solves key challenges in Modular Integrated Construction (MiC). Using non-visible gentle communication (nVLC), edge computing, and occasion sensing, it tracks six-degree-of-freedom pose modifications in actual time. Features corresponding to path prediction, operational help, and complete hoisting information enhance building high quality, improve decision-making, and advance MiC element positioning expertise.
5. Fraud Detection and Awareness Game
Fraudsters are utilizing superior generative AI instruments, corresponding to practical voice cloning and deepfake applied sciences, making it more and more difficult for victims to differentiate between actual and faux. ASTRI’s AI fraud detection system utilises multimedia evaluation, pc imaginative and prescient, and pure language processing to offer real-time danger alerts and fraud prevention options for industries like finance and insurance coverage. At the sales space, an interactive AI mini-game permits guests to check their capability to establish genuine versus AI-generated photographs, serving to to boost public consciousness of fraud dangers within the digital age.
6. ASTRI All-In-One Tech Showcase
ASTRI’s interactive digital show highlights improvements in AI, sensible mobility, sensible cities, superior electronics, industrialisation, building expertise, and 5G communication. Unlike static shows, the set up permits guests to discover ASTRI’s cutting-edge developments throughout various R&D areas via immersive visible expertise.
