hi everyone On 14 Dec 2016, I was honored to be appointed as jury for Pameran Bengkel 2-BITI (Robot) at FTMK UTeM.  The exhibition was organized by the faculty for the students to practice their skills and showcase their projects through presentations and demo. All projects will be evaluated by invited juries to determine which team to receive the the best project demonstration and best poster awards. The teams used LEGO Mindstorm as the controller and Tetrix parts to build the robots. I was impressed by the students' effort and ideas! The task was to create robots for sports/games applications. This ranges from basketball to Monopoly and Chess. Here are some of the photos from the exhibition that I found in my camera :) Triathlon robot Monopoly Robot. Awesome! The robot will be your partner :) A robot that plays golf! This robot can be your partner to play chess! Most awesome robot: the Bowling Robot. This robot took part in the 20...

Hi everyone! On 23 November 2016, FTMK UTeM had organized the 9th UTeM ROBORACE Challenge 2016. FKP had sent 2 teams to take part and support the event. Though only ended with 8th place, the students had a thrilling time programming the robots and preparing for the 'Robowar: Revenge of the Bot" competition. Need to buckle up and do better next time.

Assalamualaikum. For year 2016, our team had actually organized two sessions for the FKP Mechatronics Robot Competition. Alhamdulillah.  My post on the first one is here . For the second time around, the task given to the students was to find a problem within a manufacturing company and propose a solution using a robotic system. This could be a pick-and-place robot, a SCARA robot or an automated guided vehicle (AGV) robot. Throughout the semester, the students (in groups of 4-5) shall present their updates with regards to the design of the robot, the proposed solution, the electronics circuitry and functionality of their robot. This video summarizes the students' journey to complete their robots Finally, all groups need to design a poster and present their robotic project to three judges during the competition day on 15 Dec 2016. Enjoy the pictures! Event poster Group picture with BMFA 3113 Mechatronics lecturers (myself and en Mahasan...
