澳大無人船艇於國際智能船賽奪冠
A team of postgraduate students from the Sensor-based Cooperative Robotics Laboratory (SCORE Lab), Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), University of Macau (UM), recently received a first prize in the first Zhuhai Wanshan International Intelligent Vessel Competition. During the event, the UM team beat 10 teams with its autonomous navigation technology for unmanned surface vessels (USVs).
The competition received applications from more than 20 universities and research institutes in different countries, including the United States, Singapore, and India. Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the organiser eventually shortlisted eleven outstanding teams from institutions in China, including Dalian University of Technology, Southeast University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shenyang Institute of Automation from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuyi University, Ocean University of China, Sun Yat-sen University, Dalian Ocean University, Wuhan University of Technology, and UM.
All participating teams were required to use a unified intelligent boat platform to complete certain tasks, including autonomous navigation, intelligent obstacle avoidance, target recognition, parking, as well as emergency rescue at sea. In one of the tasks, the vessel needed to pass through five waypoints arranged in an M-shaped path. Under the guidance of Prof Carlos Silvestre, and the leadership of Dr Joel Reis, PhD students Yu Gan and Xie Wei developed a motion control application for autonomous navigation of a USV. The strategy engineered by the UM team surpassed all other participating teams in terms of tracking accuracy. During the awards ceremony, their performance was praised by head of the competition’s software department, who remarked that the accuracy of the USV of the UM team was unprecedented.
The Zhuhai Wanshan International Intelligent Vessel Competition was jointly held by Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhuhai) and Zhuhai Wanshan Marine Testing Field under the guidance of China Classification Society and Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and Technology, with assistance from Sun Yat-Sen University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, UM, and Wuhan University of Technology.
澳門大學科技學院研究生團隊研發的無人船艇人工智能技術於首屆珠海萬山國際智能船艇公開賽中奪冠。獲獎作品以精準的人工智能船艇操控技術打敗多支勁旅，獲得「揚帆起航」項目賽冠軍。

Published by the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, it is a top Q1 journal in the Science Citation Index (SCI) as well as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is ranked top in the field of power electronics. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including electronics, controls and communications, and the application of instrumentation and computing intelligence in industrial systems, such as power electronics and drive control techniques, system control and signal processing, fault detection and diagnosis, power systems, measurement and testing, robotics, as well as artificial intelligence in industrial systems, communications and computer networks.Prof Lam is a native of Macao and an outstanding scholar of power electronics who received training at UM under the supervision of Prof Han Yingduo, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He has co-authored and edited four books and published more than 110 papers in journals and at conferences. He has received six invention patents in the United States and China. During his PhD study, he developed a current quality compensation device with a full-load efficiency of up to 98.8 per cent, which was put into use in Macao Water Supply Company Limited in 2014. In 2019, Prof Lam worked with Allwinner Technology Company to develop an ultra-low quiescent current DC-DC buck converter chip, which is very suitable for internet of things electronic devices. The chip’s measurement performance is comparable to that of similar products developed by Texas Instruments and Analog Devices. In recent years, Prof Lam has formed a team with Prof Elvis Mak Pui In and Dr Huang Zhicong. The team provides guidance for undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the studies of key technologies and applications of wireless power transfer. The team also seeks to find practical industrial applications for its research results in Macao and the Greater Bay Area. They have filed patent applications in the US and China for their wireless charging technique and are now exploring industrial applications for high-quality wireless charging systems. In addition, some final-year projects conducted by the undergraduate students under their supervision have been published by the internationally renowned journal IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics (a Q1 journal in SCI). The projects have also won multiple awards in entrepreneurship competitions and project design competitions. The research projects above were funded by the Science and Technology Development Fund, Macao SAR (File no. 098/2005/A；109/2013/A3；120/2016/A3；025/2017/A1；SKL-AMSV Fund), UM’s research fund (File no. MYRG137(Y1-L4)-FST12-WMC；MYRG2017-00090-AMSV；MYRG2018-00020-AMSV), and Allwinner Technology Company. Prof Lam has been recognised by leading experts and scholars in the international power electronics industry and appointed to the position of associate editor because of his fruitful research results and his experience in industrial applications. He is currently an associate editor of IEEE Access, a guest editor of the special issues of IET Power Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II–Express Briefs, as well as the chair of the Power Quality Subcommittee of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society.
