"Techanization"
Hong Kong Cyberport robotics firm (2017) known for its motion-mimicking 5G humanoid ME and robots for smart city, health and property management.
Roborn Technology Limited is a Hong Kong robotics company based at Cyberport that develops motion-control-based robots and related 5G, AI, IoT and cloud solutions. It was co-founded in 2017 by Eden Lu, who serves as managing director, and Dr. Mark Mak, the co-founder and CTO, an HKUST-trained electronic engineer who invented the company's motion-control humanoid robot; Prof. Larry Poon is also listed as a co-founder. The group operates through Roborn Technology Limited, Roborn HC Limited, Roborn PM Limited, Roborn DT Limited and Roborn Tech Licensing Limited, and promotes a concept it calls "Techanization", meaning the integration of technology into an ecosystem to raise productivity.
Humanoid robot. The ME series is a 1:1 humanoid that mimics the operator's body movements in real time using motion detection and Roborn's control algorithms. A camera in the robot's head streams a first-person view to VR goggles, and a head sensor in the goggles steers the robot's head. The robot's arm, hand and fingers can be controlled remotely with precision, so it can be used for remote inspection in hazardous environments, robotics and AI education, telepresence for business and healthcare, and entertainment. According to the company, the 5G motion-control humanoid project was supported by ZTE and China Mobile as strategic partners.
