Grants and prizes
Given the complexity of our research projects and the reach of our team members, we have different sources of funding beyond the City University of Hong Kong, in the form of grants and prizes, both local and international.

This project uses a newly commissioned robotic game (June 2026) in the Banga Gallery as a research platform for studying how people coordinate in teams while controlling a shared machine. In the game, two teams operate robotic arms through distributed controllers, creating a setting in which communication, timing, and feedback directly affect performance. The project will analyse gameplay telemetry collected over a four-month public exhibition, together with automatically extracted features, to investigate two questions: how ad hoc teams coordinate distributed robot control, and how synthetic haptic feedback affects learning and task performance for tasks that require team coordination.The project will produce a unique dataset, analytical tools, and analytical findings as scholarly outputs at the intersection of creative media, game studies, human-computer interaction, and robotics. It will also establish a reusable methodology for research through public-facing interactive systems.
