Japanese robot animation could well be a collective memory of big boys born after the 1980s. For Mark Mak, Co-founder of Roborn Technology Ltd, robots are a thing of the future that he would like to build now. This was the idea that lead to the birth of China’s first 5G robot; it also turned a Hong Kong start-up company into a legend.

Roborn’s two co-founders Mark Mak and Eden Lu, who were alumni of CUHK’s MBA programme, were both featured in the June 2020 issue of CUHK Business Magazine. The article shared the stories behind the 5G epidemic prevention smart robot and the first 5G Motion Control Robot. They also discussed the important factors that led to their success today.

Roborn Technology, which started selling a body temperature-checking robot three months ago, has put its pilot UV light robot to test in a private medical centre and shopping malls. The robot is equipped with a 360-degree camera that can help property management companies keep a record of its sanitation work.

Hong Kong launched 5G network last month. Roborn cooperated with HKT, the Hong Kong telecommunications company to develop a new product, “5G remote diagnostic robot.” This robot can assist doctors in remote diagnosis, making use of advantage of 5G network to receive the doctor’s real-timer instructions and adjust the height and angle of the lens, so that the doctor can see more clearly when diagnosing.
