Robot That Can Learn, Think And Act By Itself

At the Hasegawa lab of the Tokyo Institute of Technology Japanese scientists have created a robot that can learn based on past experiences. The robot can think, learn and react to situations and teach itself new behaviours in an unsupervised manner.

The Self-Organizing Incremental Neural Network (SOINN) robot is described by its developers as “an unsupervised online-learning method, which is capable of incremental learning.”

SOINN learns through its own experiences, as well as through the large network of online information available to each robot model. Developers are now working on creating a robot that can multi-task, solving the problem of overly specialized robots.

Dear all, join us in Robotic Society's 4th Annual General Meeting on 22nd June, Wednesday, 3pm to 5pm. Pizza and snacks are provided after the meeting. Join us and have fun!!!

See you guys at SE108 ;-)

Recruitment Drive

Dear all,

UTAR Robotic Society is organising a recruitment in this week. Thus, now you may stand a chance to build a robot in our team and also stand a chance to improve your technical skill. Come join us by register yourself in our booth at Cafeteria (10am-2pm) from Monday to Friday.

Change of venue, LabVIEW Workshop

Good news and even better news !

The workshop venue is changed to the OSK lab in the library. Be the first few students to use the brand new lab! Date and session times remain the same.

Students are allowed to use their own laptops with the evaluation version of LabVIEW installed. But you are encouraged to use the computer in the lab. You may download the evaluation version of LabVIEW here.

See you this Friday !

NI LabVIEW Workshop

Hi everyone,

I am sure many of you had signed up for the workshop at the NI booth during the exhibition.

Well here it is. It is soon going to be April and as promised, we will be having the first National Instruments LabVIEW workshop here in UTAR, FES - Setapak Campus.

This workshop includes :

a) Hands on LabVIEW (each student will use 1 lab computer with LabVIEW installed)

b) Hardcopy Notes

c) Refreshments throughout the session

d) LUCKY Draw ! for 1 very lucky student

National Instruments is providing this workshop for free. However we need to charge a small sum to arrange the logistics for the event and most importantly to CONFIRM your attendance. There are very limited spaces therefore we can not afford people not turning up. RM 5 is a small sum for the things NI is providing especially this valuable opportunity to learn about LabVIEW's awesome Graphical Programming.

Please register and pay at the allocated time and place to confirm your slot in the workshop.

Date : 30th March - 1st April

Time : 12-2pm

Venue: UTAR Cafeteria

There are ONLY 28 slots per session. You only need to attend 1 session as both sessions are the same . Registration is on a first come first serve basis. The last day to pay up and confirm your registration is on 1st of April.

Stay tuned for more updates !

**Update : Another 10 slots per session is open because the new lab can accommodate 40 students ! Contact any of our committee if you are interested!

Educational and Industrial Robotics Exhibition 2011 @ FEStival

Great job to all committee members of Robotic Society's Exhibition 2011 which had received good reviews from the companies that were invited to exhibit their products and technologies.

Exhibits of participated companies

Bioloid from Astana Digital

Amphibious Vehicle (front) and UAV (back) by postgraduates and students

National Instruments (NI) exhibited various LabVIEW applications and also two Educational Robotics Platforms

nevertheless, booth by Robotic Society

we have games

and ice-cream

We were also visited by the President of UTAR Ir. Professor Dato' Dr Chuah Hean Teik accompanied by the Dean of FES.

Last but not least, Robotic Society would like to say THANK YOU to all the participating companies, members and also UTAR students who support us. Stay tuned for more updates.

Educational & Industrial Robotics Exhibition

Dear all,

We're back! UTAR Robotic Society is organising an exhibition in conjunction with the FEStival organized by UTAR. You'll be exposed with a lot of interesting projects and robots that will be exhibited by MH group projects, Robotic Society and companies such as Cytron, National Instrument and Astana Digital. Feel free to join us and you will be entertained by small game prepared by us. =)

Stay tuned for more updates ;)
