PolyU FENG AI & Robotics Club
Team
Supervisors, mentors and technical groups
The club is guided by PolyU academic staff and the Industrial Centre, advised by an External Advisory Board, and supported by a PhD-level mentor team who work with students week to week on design, code and testing. Students work in four technical groups. Each group has a few student representatives who coordinate its work; these are working roles, not ranks.
Staff-Level Supervisors
The Director of the Robotics Club, the Industrial Centre's Coach Advisor for hands-on engineering, fabrication and workspace use, and PolyU academic staff from engineering who advise on technical direction.
