Assalamualaikum Dear readers, Here's a super short post about the Walk for Autism program on 5th Nov 2016, an annual event by NASOM that I could never miss :) These are the brief intro on the Walk taken from NASOM official website: " There is no other event like the NASOM Walk for Autism 2016. Everybody is included and no one is left behind. Walking together, hand in hand with kids of all ages with autism and other disabilities, some even in wheelchairs. Walking with Malaysians from all walks of life regardless of age, colour, gender, religion, ancestral origin, ethnic group, social status, profession, income levels, even with expatriates and foreign visitors. It is what our society should be – inclusive.  NASOM Walk for Autism 2016 will be hosted by NASOM Gombak centre located at Taman Rowther, Gombak, previously located at Setapak Garden. The NASOM Walk for Autism 2016 will be held at Taman Metropolitan (Taman Layang-Layang), Kepong on Saturday 5 November 20

Assalamualaikum Hi! In my previous post I've blogged about the 2016 National Robotics Competition (NRC) in UTP. Now, NRC was part of the Robot Fiesta Malaysia 2016. Other than the NRC, there were 2 separate robotic events which was also held in UTP: the IEEE PRIDE 2016 (on 25th Sept 2016) and IEEE ROMA International Symposium 2016 (on 25-26th Sept 2016). The Center of Excellence for Humanoid Robots and Bio-Sensing (HuRoBs) and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Malaysia Chapter are the proud organizers of the 2016 IEEE-RAS 5th International Robot PRIDE Competition (PRIDE2016). This yearly event was held in UTP (for Malaysia Round) and next in Tokyo Japan (for Japan Round) from 17th to 18th December 2016. The objective of PRIDE is to explore and exhibit innovative ideas and designs within the scope of Robotics, Sensors, Automation, Computation and Intelligent Systems.
