Congratulations to Dr. Chunhua Liu, Associate Professor, on receiving the Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) 2021/22 with his research proposal titled “Development of Novel Integrated Wireless Motor Drives for Cordless Joints of Robotics”. The awarded project received funding of HK$5,509,700.  

The proposal is to develop a novel breed of wireless motor and drive systems for cordless robotic joints with artfully incorporating the wireless power transfer into the synchronous motor design. The success of this project will bring the transformative innovation for robotic actuators and greatly change the robotic joint operation in a cordless way. Also, the project will offer a long-term significance in academia, industry and education for Hong Kong, Greater Bay Area and even the world.    

The CRF supports multi-investigator and multi-disciplinary projects so as to encourage more research groups to engage in creative and high-quality cross-disciplinary projects.   

Our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Chunhua Liu for his achievement!
