Centre Managing Director Prof. Norman Tien shared his insight on the topic of Digitisation of Human Body Motion for Garment Production. Smart robots are set to play a vital role in future automations and assist human workers with repetitive and/or high-risk tasks. To achieve interactive human-robot collaborations, robots need to learn and understand how humans work and thus a cost-effective means of digitising manual operations is of the essence. In this project, we aim at developing an innovative approach to high-fidelity, real-time full-body motion capture for garment workers without using specialty cameras.

香港製衣業目前面臨勞動力短缺及消費行為轉變的重大挑戰。消費者期望能夠以低價定製服飾,但傳統製衣業多用於量產,定製衣物費用較高。因此,香港大學工程學院與日本東北大學共建「創新製衣技術研發中心」,希望透過AI和機械人技術令成衣定製更靈活、快速、高效,減少生產浪費的同時又提高收益,實現人機交互。
