Ecosystem and Positioning

Personal Solution Centre

This connects laboratories and equipment across the entire campus through an online system, making them accessible to students. Students can submit their technical needs online, and a dedicated technical support team will provide customized solutions and guide them throughout the entire process of completing their projects or ideas.

Comprehensive Solution Center

This center serves as a comprehensive solution provider for core technology development in current and future industries, offering end-to-end technical services for specific fields. For example, the currently establishing Center for Robotics and Autonomous Systems focuses on the smart robotics sector for consumer and home applications. It provides full-cycle, innovation-driven product development support—from market and user research, defining core technical challenges, to R&D, prototype design and manufacturing, and functional testing.
