Humans.and.Robots.

Here's a quick throwback post. In conjunction with the 2nd IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Malaysia Chapter meeting, a lab visit to the Centre for Advanced Mechatronics and Robotics (CAMaRo), was organized on 24th March. The visit provided valuable insight into the famous collaborative Baxter robot and other interesting robotics technology at Universiti Tenaga National (UNITEN). Having a humble history beginning as a research interest group consisting of staff and students, the Centre for Advanced Mechatronics and Robotics (Camaro) has grown over the years becoming the focal point for advancing mechatronics and robotics knowledge in the power industry through education, research and innovation. The centres objective is to nurture robotics in the university, community and nation through research, consultancy and education. Additionally, Camaro aims to establish strategic partnerships with other researchers from other research centres, universities, schools and research in...

Assalamualaikum Recently, a simple ceremony was organized by FKP to hand-over certificates to FKP staff and students who have successfully completed the Lean Six Sigma (Yellow Belt) Training held over nine training sessions from November 2016 until March 2017.  Six Sigma is a method that provides organizations tools to improve the capability of their business processes. This increase in performance and decrease in process variation lead to defect reduction and improvement in profits, employee morale, and quality of products or services. Six Sigma quality is a term generally used to indicate a process is well controlled (within process limits ±3s from the center line in a control chart, and requirements/tolerance limits ±6s from the center line).
