Assalamualaikum  Hi everyone! Wow. September 2016 was a really manic month for us at the faculty. New students coming in, classes starting and researches to monitor as well. Not forgetting Eid Adha celebration too :)  It was a frenzied situation for me too as there were three events organized/co-organized by IEEE RAS Malaysia that needs full support from its ExCom members. For these three robotic events, we need to be in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS in Seri Iskandar, Perak as it was the main venue. And the main program was ' Robot Fiesta Malaysia 2016 '. Awesome, right? Here are the pictures from the first event which was the NRC. I'll cover the other two in my next post. The Robot Fiesta Malaysia 2016 comprises of 3 major events: 1. National Level Robotics Competition (NRC) , 23-25 Sept 2016 @ Chancellor Hall Main Sponsor : Ministry of Education | Technical Sponsor : Sasbadi Sdn Bhd | Venue Sponsor : UTP |  http://nrc.sasbadi....

Assalamualaikum Last week I had the opportunity to visit Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) campus in Nilai for the first time. Alhamdulillah I get to present my paper at the 2nd International Convention on Islam, Science & Education (KONGSI'16). I presented a paper based on the work of my final year student. It was a good project on industrial robot and his work deserves to be published :) I woke up really early as the registration started at 8:00 am. The journey from Melaka took about 1 hour and 15 minutes. At the lobby of FPQS (the conference venue), many participants were already queuing up. My session was at 9:00 am. Alhamdulillah the session went well and I was so happy as I get to meet an old friend and made new friends as well. Enjoy the pictures!  Official program poster Registration counter for participants. Very efficient!  Presentation by Puan Siti Rubaini Mat on molecular cloning ...

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone Here's a very short post about a competition that my colleague, En Mahasan Mat Ali, my students and myself took part in 2 weeks ago. We presented our project: And we got a Silver Medal for our project! Alhamdulillah :) Congratulations to all team members. But I dont have a picture of all of us though. Some of our team members during the product survey with healthy children in May 2016 I am so proud of the team and hope this project can start to create awareness on the need of more affordable prosthesis for children.

Assalamualaikum Dear readers, Hope you are in the pink of health. Alhamdulillah our faculty had kicked-off the new semester for 2016/2017 on 5th September 2016. So I'd better update this little blog of mine before us lecturers get very (too) busy with classes, supervision and all :) Recently 14th August, my colleagues at UTeM and I took part in a charity run at PERKESO Rehabilitation Center, Melaka which is just 5 minits away from our Durian Tunggal Campus. There were the five different categories to choose from and we took part in the 5 KM Fun Run.

Alhamdulillah it was a beautiful Sunday morning The Wheeler's category And we're off for the 5 KM run. My ...

I guess there is an increasing number of researchers worldwide interested in rehab projects for autism. Need to continue my PhD work real soon
