ABOUT CMI
Curiosity connects us.
Passion drives us.
AI, robotics and marine science. Shared ideas for a living ocean.
Our mission
Bring intelligent technology and ecological knowledge together to understand, monitor and care for marine environments.
We bring together researchers across HKUST to advance ocean observation, autonomous exploration, biodiversity understanding and conservation.
Our vision
A future in which marine intelligence deepens our understanding of the ocean and helps sustain healthy, resilient marine ecosystems.
From shared ideas to the shoreline.
Our coastal living laboratory connects shared data, intelligent systems and ecological knowledge with real marine environments.
This work draws on the complementary strengths of HKUST’s research institutes in robotics, artificial intelligence and environmental science.
