科大學者領導「香港操作機械人」國際科研項目
香港科技大學（科大）去年通過遴選，獲中國國家航天局委任牽頭「嫦娥八號」國際合作項目——月面多功能操作機械人暨移動充電站（名為「香港操作機械人」）。該項目將匯聚海內外航天領域的學者與專家，共同研製配備移動充電設備、能執行靈巧操作的多功能月面操作機械人，旨在為國家月球探索任務作出重要貢獻。為支持這一國際合作項目，香港特別行政區政府已在InnoHK科研平台上成立「香港太空機械人與能源中心」，由科大主導，負責推動跨院校與跨地域合作。科大「香港操作機械人」將與本地、內地及海外多所大學及航天科研機構共同研發，致力於推動航天技術全生命週期——從概念設計、研發、製造到測試與系統集成的前沿創新。作為國家探月工程第四期任務的一部分，「嫦娥八號」探測器計劃於2029年前後發射，國家將來在月面上建設國際月球科研站。屆時，「嫦娥八號」將着陸於月球南極，並攜帶包括「香港操作機械人」在內的國際月面機械人科考家族，執行科學探測任務。該款由科大跨學科團隊研發的機器人，凝聚了頂尖跨學科團隊的前沿科技精髓，將在國家重大航天任務中承擔關鍵角色，以其卓越的自主功能及精確度，在適應月球極端環境方面發揮極致的作用。科大副校長（研究及發展）鄭光廷教授表示：「中國航天事業發展迅速，在深空探索領域的成就舉世矚目。香港憑藉『背靠祖國、聯通世界』的獨特優勢，結合雄厚的科研實力，正積極融入國家航天發展大局。科大通過參與國家『嫦娥八號』探月任務，以及承擔創新及科技支援計劃下『特別徵集（航天科技）』資助的『從中國空間站監測溫室氣體排放點源』研究項目，為國家航天事業的國際化進程提供助力。科大充分發揮在人工智能、機械人、材料科學及熱控工程等領域的科研優勢，全力推動航天科技成果的轉化與應用。此舉不僅能提升香港在航天科技領域的國際競爭力、創造顯著經濟效益，更將進一步鞏固香港作為國際創新科技中心的地位。」
