The Faculty of Innovation Engineering has established the Artificial Intelligence and Smart City Laboratories at the Zhuhai MUST Science and Technology Research Institute, Hengqin. These laboratories are carrying out a series of cutting-edge research in the fields of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and intelligent manufacturing and undertaking research projects such as: “Face structure analysis based on Spatio-temporal information modelling in videos”, ”STEP Perpetual learning based collective intelligence: theories and methodologies”, “Abnormal analysis of crowds in large scale urban spaces”, “Development and industrialization of key technology platforms for virtual reality core engines”, among others.

Meanwhile, the faculty is planning to establish three advanced research centres, namely the Open Intelligent Electric Vehicles Research Center (OIEV-RC), the Innovation Centre for Intelligent Robotics Technologies, and the Laboratory of Security in Cloud System and Data, which have long-term cooperation with outstanding enterprises in China and overseas. To facilitate the in-depth cooperation policy between the Macao SAR government and Hengqin, these centres will transform M.U.S.T.’s scientific research and innovation achievements into technology applications and product development, and cultivate high-end scientific research teams to drive the future of the Greater Bay Area.
