Professor Chen Benmei and Professor Chen Xi win award at the 15th International Invention Fair in the Middle East
The innovation project contributed by the research team of Professor Chen Benmei and Professor Chen Xi from Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering has achieved remarkable success at the 15th International Invention Fair in the Middle East (IIFME), winning the Gold Medal with the Congratulations of the Jury.
The award-winning project was titled “Unmanned Systems and AI Empowered High Performance Urban Environment Digitization and Management”. This invention shows the pathway of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) applications in the smart built environment with a focus on AI-based, fully autonomous data collection, 3D reconstruction, target of interest evaluation and systematic management of as-built information with BIM/GIS based digital-twin platforms. There are two aspects to its core technology: 1) Development of a software framework for single/multi-drone applications covering task management, motion planning, dynamic control, environment perception, visualisation and interaction with users. 2) Integration of UAS, AI and digital platforms for urban environment inspection, monitoring and management. The invention can not only enhance built asset management efficiency and accuracy but also reduce labour costs and safety hazards during multi-scale indoor and outdoor environment inspection and monitoring.
The IIFME, which was held in Kuwait this year, is recognised as the largest specialised exhibition of inventions and innovations in the Middle East, as well as the second largest international invention exhibition in the world. With the collaboration with the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, the event aims to promote the culture of invention and innovation while strengthening connections among inventors, enterprises and investors worldwide.
