Join the Manipulation Group @ HKCLR
The Manipulation Group at the Hong Kong Centre for Logistics Robotics (HKCLR) is recruiting highly motivated students and researchers to join our team.
Our group works at the intersection of fundamental robotics research and real-world robotic products, with a strong focus on developing robust, autonomous, and deployable manipulation systems. We design and build advanced robotic platforms ranging from lightweight robotic arms to mobile dual-arm systems, targeting manipulation tasks in unstructured and contact-rich environments.
Our research philosophy emphasizes the tight integration of model-based methods and learning-driven techniques. This includes physics-based modeling and control, data-driven and learning-based manipulation, as well as emerging vision–language–action (VLA) and multimodal perception frameworks. By combining mechanical design, sensing, control, and AI, we aim to bridge the gap between laboratory research and practical robotic deployment.
