Mark Mak, since his childhood, has had a passion for building robotic models and dreaming of using robots to defend the Earth. He pursued his dream by studying electronic engineering in university. After experiencing the SARS epidemic in 2003, he conceived the idea of using robots to replace medical personnel in risky tasks.
Driven by his emotional attachment to robots, Mark developed a robotic arm and motion-sensing humanoid robots. He won a major award at an innovation and technology competition in the Greater Bay Area and established his company in the region.

By the end of 2018, Mark had formed a strategic partnership with leading mainland telecommunications companies and developed China's first 5G motion control humanoid robot. This robot could mimic human body movements by receiving instructions through a control system. The 5G motion control robot not only earned Mark multiple awards but also accompanied national leaders on trips along countries of the Belt and Road Initiative, including Africa.

Mark envisions a future where traditional high-risk industries like bomb disposal, high-voltage cable maintenance, and spray painting can be delegated to robots. Operators can remotely control robots indoors to complete tasks. However, when the global COVID-19 pandemic broke out, Mark immediately utilised his core technology to develop various anti-epidemic robots, including outdoor disinfection robots, UV disinfection robots, remote diagnosis robots, and ICU equipment control robots.

As a Hong Kong native and driven by his strong connection to the city, Mark decided to move the research and development headquarters back to Hong Kong, while retaining two offices in Qianhai and Jiangmen. "I hope to prove that Hong Kong people have the capability to develop robots," he said. His next plan is to research robots for elderly care, aiming to innovate and assist people, continuing the pursuit of Hong Kong's robotic dream.
