Project Reference:	ITP/008/25LP
Project Title:	Resources Based Parallel Mapping and AI Map Rebuilding Approach for AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) fleet 2.0 In Mega Facilities Operation
Hosting Institution:	LSCM R&D Centre (LSCM)
Abstract:	Robot operations in mega indoor facilities, such as airports, caves, and underground sewage or electrical systems, have posed significant challenges and request for a long time. Robots can greatly enhance efficiency and improve operations, allowing workers to save considerable time on travel within the facility. Without GPS positioning, robot rely on its own sensors for navigation. A common problem of AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) is the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and ROS (Robotic Operation System) architecture cannot manage extra large area. Limited computing resources, sensor's accuracy, accumulated error and changing environments cause robot navigation failure. The aim of this project is to develop some algorithms to solve the above problems and deploy robots to such mega facility for operation.
Project Coordinator:	Mr Wing-Leung CHOW
Approved Funding Amount:	HK$ 5.86M
Project Period:	31 Mar 2025 - 30 Sep 2026

LSCM: Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre in Hong Kong

Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) is Hong Kong’s leading Centre of technology research and development (R&D) across numerous sectors, both public and private. Since its founding in 2006, LSCM has been dedicated to fostering technological innovation to enhance the efficiency in the logistics and supply chain industries.

The role of Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) in Hong Kong and Beyond

Hong Kong is considered as one of the world’s leading logistics hubs. LSCM aims to reinforce this position through the continuous enhancement of technological facilities within areas of logistics, supply chain, artificial intelligence, and e-commerce, etc.

Always on the move, LSCM seeks to ensure Hong Kong keeps up on a global scale, cementing our place on the world stage as a progressive adopter of innovative technology. With an extensive range of projects developed over the years, LSCM nurtures ideas for growth not only in Hong Kong but also in Mainland China.

Facilitating Innovation Across Multiple Industries

To promote economic growth through heightened efficiency, LSCM has spurred the development of numerous cutting-edge technologies, including supply chain technology, robotics technology for logistics, and an AIoT Chinese Medicine dispensing and delivery system. These projects were undertaken to not only enhance efficiency, but also to provide effective solutions for the ageing problems across multiple industries in Hong Kong.

LSCM has a wealth of case studies in our database. These range from sophisticated virtual reality training modules to secure E-Lock system and E-Cheque Wallet applications, and many more. Our case studies showcase the impact of technology deployment on different sectors, demonstrating how a seemingly simple idea can transform the entire industry operations.

Future Development of Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM)

Moving forward, LSCM will work closely with the Government, academia and the industry in Hong Kong to continuously foster the development and adoption of technological innovations that address emerging supply chain and logistics challenges. As part of this effort, we prioritise building a community that focuses on collaboration to accelerate the progress.

To become part of our committed community of leading researchers and professionals, take a look at our membership program. There, you’ll discover various networking opportunities for your enterprise. Ranging from events for exposure and networking, through to cutting-edge researches for technology advancement, our membership program is the best way to enjoy LSCM’s extensive services.
