Director's Message

“The Centre’s mission is to pioneer intelligent, resilient robotic systems that will enable humanity’s sustainable future in space. Our flagship project involves developing advanced rover and energy technology for the nation’s lunar mission. Our research innovations can lead to crucial robotic solutions for future orbital services, in-situ resource utilization, and planetary surface operations – representing critical steps towards a sustained human-robot ecosystem in Earth orbit, on the Moon, Mars and beyond. We are honoured to deploy our expertise from Hong Kong in direct support of these historic endeavours, pushing the boundaries of robotic exploration.”

Centre Director, Hong Kong Space Robotics and Energy Centre

“The Hong Kong Operation Robot that the Centre is developing is a powerful testament to what we can achieve when academics, researchers, engineers, and partners unite around a shared purpose. The breakthroughs we are pursuing in intelligent robotic systems are only possible through close collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and borders. From Hong Kong to the Moon, our collective efforts will drive new frontiers in space robotic exploration.”
