Prof. LIU Cheng, Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering at City University of Hong Kong, introduces an Embodied Intelligence Framework for smart manufacturing, targeting the manipulation of deformable fabrics.
To address the physical limitations of conventional AI, the system integrates physics-informed validation with Vision-Language Models to ensure robotic actions are safe and feasible. Combining a human-centric design with adaptive control, the framework has been validated across multiple fabric types. This research effectively bridges the gap between AI planning and reliable execution in industrial automation.
