Precognition Lab @ HKUST (Guangzhou)
Our research lab, the Precognition Lab (智能感知与预测实验室), is interested in building human-level Embodied AI systems that can effectively perceive, reason and interact with the real world for the good of humans. Here is an up-to-date research roadmap.
Our lab's computing resources include 36 RTX 3090/4090/L40 GPUs and a cluster of 24 A6000 GPUs with a 100TB NAS. See this post. And we have multiple mobile platforms with robot arms and dex hands:
