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). Credit to: Lorenzo Del Marmol   (Founder & Managing Partner at Lean Six Sigma Belgium) In a nutshell, 45 staffs and 205 FKP students have passed the Lean Six Sigma (Yellow Belt) Training. One of the ...

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...
