Background

The Hong Kong Industrial Artificial Intelligence & Robotics Centre (FLAIR) is a leading research and development center focused on AI and robotics applications to drive industrial innovation. During my time at FLAIR, I primarily contributed to the Sustainability Platform, where I worked on AI-driven solutions for environmental sustainability.

Role

Dashboard

In this project, I developed a dashboard tailored for managerial users. It allows managers to easily check on recycling statistics, such as:

• Current Total Recycling Volume
• Rankings of the most frequently used recycling machines by region.
• Real-time machine status, quickly identifying devices that are operational, full, or experiencing issues.

Simulation Program

Additionally, I also created a Python-based simulation program to automate backend testing by simulating user recycling behaviors. This program runs 24/7, not only can it test all the APIs developed by the backend team,but also generates realistic data to stress test the system performance and simulate the live operation.

RAG Chatbot

Besides, I contributed to building a RAG chatbot interface that allows end-users to query recycling data through an integrated Large Language Model (LLM). The system then searches the database, retrieves the required data structure, and returns it to the frontend, where the results are visualized in various chart formats depending on the user’s query.
