Humans.and.Robots.

My PhD supervisor who is also my research mentor-for-life is in the spotlight again! Kudos to Assoc Prof Dr Hanafiah Yussof for an awesome job in promoting robotics technology in Malaysia :) 'Building Bots'

Alhamdulillah. My 3 FYP students have successfully completed their projects and submitted their hardbound thesis this week.  All the best to all of them, I believe they are going to be awesome engineers, insyaAllah. Ume Nur Ashikien bt M. Azhar Ahmad Faris b. Azmin Muhammad Ammar Luqman b. Mohd Salim And here's some of the momento pictures from their journey as my students: Faris during UTeM-Infineon Week Poster Competition Ammar giving short introduction on Arduino programming to 3rd year students Ume and Faris during the HRI experiment at the kindergarten That's me with the students, Mr Asari our official videographer and the children Data collection for the robot calibration experiment All in all, I had a fantastic experience supervising these students. Hope they will always keep in touch with all their lecturers in FKP. See you during the graduation ceremony in November!!

Hello there An exciting event took place in our faculty recently: The Department of Robotics and Automation FKP was proud to organize the Mechatronics Design Competition on 25th May 2016 at the Mechatronics Lab. This is an annual event under the subject BFA3503 where students in groups of 5 or 6 will need to design and develop a robot and compete to find the fastest one to accomplish the given tasks. The 2016 theme is Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). Competition Objective: The AGV robot is required to pick up TWO (2) different loads at the pick-up station and deliver the load to its designated stations. List of tasks: -The AGV will start at the designated starting point -Then, the AGV is required to pick up a load at a pick-up station -The AGV will send it to the first machine -Next, the AGV need to travel back to the pick-up station, pick the second load and deliver it to the second machine -Each machine station requires different types of load After both ...

Assalamualaikum and hi Ramadhan Kareem 1437H to all Muslims. May Allah's blessings will always shine upon you and your loved ones in this holy month :)

Creating and developing a prosthetic hand for children born without hand limb is one of my latest projects at the faculty. Our students and us lecturers (myself and en Mahasan) were quite inspired by this inventor from Taiping, Perak who loves to be regarded as Pak Su Delta. May Allah swt always grant him good health and lots of more inventive ideas to help the disabled people in our community. FYI, Pak Su is always looking out for sponsorships and funds to support his cause.

The staffs in the Department of Robotics and Automation, Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering are always happy to fulfill invitations to set-up exhibition booths to promote awareness on science and technology, especially robotic education to the public. Recently on 28th April 2016, a small delegate from our department had the opportunity to do so at SK Putrajaya Presint 8(2). We were excited and honored to receive the invitation. Our booth got splendid attention from students (Year 1-6) and even teachers. As the timeframe spent at the school was quite short (10 am to 2 pm), a lot of the students were disappointed when had to leave. So we hope that we will have the opportunity to meet more students if we are invited for future events. Hope we had succeeded in nurturing ambitions for the children to be robotics engineers in the future! 

Thank you Associate Prof. Dr. Hanafiah Yuss of for accepting me to be your student, way back in 2011. It was an honour working with such an inspiring supervisor, who continues to guide and support me even after my PhD completion. May Allah swt grant you all the success in this world and the hereafter. Amin.
