AI technology navigates microrobot swarm in complex environments inside human body

Bees are extremely intelligent insects with the ability to communicate with the rest of their swarm to orchestrate their collective movement in complex environments. CUHK’s engineering team has built an AI navigation system that can make millions of microrobots behave like a bee swarm, autonomously reconfiguring their motion and distribution according to environmental changes, bringing clinical applications of microrobots a step closer.

The first high power low temperature redox flow batteries

CUHK engineers have successfully developed a new electrolyte that enables high power, long life flow battery applications at both room temperature and low temperatures down to
–20℃. This technology enables redox flow batteries to be used in regions with extreme cold weather, a significant step towards the practical application of the batteries for grid-scale storage of renewable energy.
