Automated Concrete Cube Testing System Jointly developed by LSCM and the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD), the Automated Concrete Cube Testing System is the first of its kind in the world. It can automatically carry out the complete concrete cube testing procedures, including concrete cube curing, weight and dimension measurement, and compression testing. The system comprises an overhead xyz-axis moving stage, robotic arm on rail, laser 3-dimensions measurement device and compression test machine. Equipped with Al technology, the system can also distinguish whether the fracture mode of a concrete cube sample meets the prescribed requirements using computer vision technology. This system has already been put into operation at CEDD’s Public Works Regional Laboratory (Sham Shui Kok) on Lantau Island. This system has won a Bronze Medal in the 48th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva.
