Jangan Malas!!

Assalamualaikum u'olls..

Hi!! Morning...

Today, I'm back at the lab.. As usual, berpura-pura rajin buat project.. Hihihi.. Hadoi.. Why la!! I'm so lazy reading all these journals.. Suka cam ni tau.. Kang last minute, baru kelam-kabut.. Farah, I warn you, you better work hard!! You know you are not good *at all* in this project thingy... Berusaha dengan gigih!!! Yoshhh...

Btw, let me tell u'olls a bit bout my master's project.. Which I'm going to write thesis bout it.. The title is 'Development of vision-based sensory system of Quadruped walking robot'. Ha..., amik ko.. Panjang noo... Hihihi..

Basically, what am I going to do is the vision system that acts as sensory system for the robot. Oh, what is quadruped? Quadruped meaning 4-legged. So Quadruped walking robot refers to 4-legged walking robot.. Like Sony Aibo, the cute doggie robot..

Actually, there's a lot of this that has been developed. So, now, I have to specify my research element out of it.. In what particular scope that I want to focus in.. Currently, I have 2 in mind.. One is the how effective the vision system sensory system, combined with some control algorithm, maybe something intelligent like neural Network or Fuzzy, to do the path-planning...
Meaning, let say, the robot is set to walk from point A to point B, but, the middle of the path, there are obstacles, so, how does the system deal with the obstacles and get back to the track. So, to show the efficiency, the result could be the distance variation between the original route with the deviated route. The smaller the difference is, portrays that the more efficient the system is.. Or maybe I can investigate the power consumption instead. Finding the algorithm to do path-planning with the lowest energy consumption..

The other scope is to tackle the vibration problem caused by the walking mechanism. Robots are not like living creatures. when it walks, there will be a lot of vibration. and since I decided to use vision system, i.e : camera system, there will definitely be effects to my images. Ye lah, goyang-goyang, gambar pon jadi tak clean la.. Consequently it will effect the efficiency of the vision system to act as a sensory system la to the robot.. That will be the research element la... Based on discussion with my supervisor (SV), co-SV and my colleagues
*sangat-sangat thankful to them sebab banyak membantu I yg agak lembab nih.. Hehehe..*
, to solve this, I basically need to study human eyes anatomy. Even though we are walking, even running, the vision is never shaking and blur.. Kan? Kan?
*Subhanallah, all praise to the Most Brilliant Creator, Allah.... :)*
Some readings and again.., discussions, I guess I need some sort of smart platform to place the camera on, that is able to absorb the vibration and reduce the shaking-effect to the camera.. The idea is to mimicked the muscles that hold our eye balls.. And of course I need the image processing algorithm that can restore the degraded image..
*Errr..., kalo korang tak paham, buat-buat angguk je la, macam paham ye... Hahaha... Izinkan la yours truly nak eksen 'terel' citer pasal project yg tak seberapa tuh kat blog nih.. Wakakaka...*

So, tuh la some info on my project... Hopefully I can successfully get it done on time.. Oh, why I chose vision system at the 1st place? Sebab I memang minat in image processing.. In fact last sem pon I took one subject from other department *ECE department..* on Image Processing and Computer Vision.. Seronok belajar mendalah ni.. Harap-harap, it will become 'beronok-ronok' *jama' term for se'ronok'.. Hahaha..* when I get to do the hands-on part of it.. :) Amin..

K lah... Think that's all I wanna share today..

Btw.., u'olls..., KUNGFU PANDA 2 is SOOOOOO AWESOME!!!! Sape lom tengok, boleh la pi tengok.. Sapa tak plan nak tengok movie, jangan lupa carik DVD nanti.. Sangat best ok.. Memang super funny and super creative and superb serba-serbi.. Hubby & I enjoyed our selves throughout the show.. Ketawa terbahak-bahak tanpa segan silu.. Kihkihkih...

Ok.., till next time u'olls.. Good day..

Wassalam..

Role Model

Assalamualaikum u'olls..

Wah...wah, bet most of u'olls tengah berhati gumbira ini malam.. Almaklumlah, today is Friday.. And tomorrow is weekend... Hehehe..

My latest hobby nowadays is watching the Criminal Mind series that my sister downloaded quite some time ago.. For those who don't know, this series is actually about a unit in FBI called the Behavioral Analysis Unit (B.A.U). This team is responsible in profiling the criminal of particular crime.. So they sort of studying the behavior part of the criminal by reading the the criminal's mind thru the existing evidence to actually solve the crime, i.e to find the criminal...

The original team



The new team



My Favourite!! Dr Spencer Reid

I kinda addicted to this series... Found it interesting! Ala.., in fact I memang a big fan of series related to solving-crime punya citer nih.. One of my fav is tak lain tak bukan, CSI lah.. Hehehe..

Ok, so, one of the episodes of this series, there is a case in which the unsub (unknown subject = the criminal) is a family... A father, a mother and a 10 year old son.. The parents are actually train their son to be a murderer, just like them.. They even asked the son to slaughter one of the victim..

When I was watching this drama, I kept on thinking, how on earth the parents, specially a mother can do that??? Teaching ur small son to be a murderer?? Macam tak patut kan?? And it's not that these couple doesn't love their son.. They do love their son soo much till the mother sanggup turn herself in and confess for every murder just to protect her son from get caught.. Yang I tak paham tuh, if you love your son that much, why at the 1st place you train him to be something that you know will risk his entire life.. Ye la.., being caught, being shot by the police, things like that..

I know, it is just a TV show, however, I got a bit too emotional on this one.. Hahaha.. Macam tak logic dek akal.. Coz, pada I, parents by default should dream that their children to have a good life.. Better than theirs.. No matter how screwed up the parents are, but usually, parents always wanted the best for their child.. Kan?

Rasa-rasa nye.., ada ke real case like this one? Ada ke org yg soo sick sampai buat camni?

Hopefully we won't have to read any similar in the newspaper happening in Malaysia..

However, I want to share something that might be as bad as above case, but in nature, there is similarity..

The other day, I went to Giant Hypermarket wif my sis. I wanted to find a birthday present to my little nephew.. Since this lil man wanted a pistol (due to his Mama.. ;p), so we went straight to the pistol mainan section.. While we were choosing which one to take, my sis notice that in some package, the darts (kengkononnya bullets la utk pistol2 tersebut) went missing. And quite a few of them with the stolen darts.. Maknanya, ada la makhlukat yg sangat panjang tangannya telah mencuri darts daripada set pistol itu...So our focus deviated sekejap mengkaji the packages yg sebahagian items nya were stolen..

The packages were nicely and neatly torn.. If we weren't really looking, there is chances that we would never notice that something is missing inside.. And yg peliknya, the toys are meant for 3-5 years old.. I wonder, takkan children that small can tore the package as neat as this.. Kan?
There must be some adults yg tolong buatkan kerja mulia itu..

Imagine, if the parents of the children itself yg did the dirty works just to get things that their child nak? And worse, if they did it right in front of their child..?? Horror kan??

My sis and I believe, mmg parents yg buat keje tuh.. Sebab keje dia memang professional. Impossible a child with that age able to do that.. Agaknya anak dia bising nak mendalah tuh, diorang malas nak spend duit beli, curik sudahh....

Haish...... If the children saw what their parents did, they might have the idea that action is permissible.. Notin serious.. SO as they grow older, they might try something heavier.. Lama-lama, jadi perampuk yg dok kelar-kelar org tuh... Then when your child get caught, you said "Sampai hati kau menconteng arang ke muka ayah dan ibu..."

Who's the one yg ajar depa the foundation utk menconteng tuh?? That thing might not be expensive.. Ala, 2,3 ringgit je.. Tapi from 2, 3 ringgit, bleh jadi 2,3 riban tau..!

(Wahh, I membebel cam mak nenek.. Tapi, what the heck, malam ni I nak membebel... Huhuhu )

Parents should be the role model to their children.. We should portray good examples to our child.. Coz like it or not, our child 1st education is from home... They will follow what we do..

If we want our child to be good, then make sure we ourselves is good first.. Nak anak yg taat perintah Allah, kita kena taat dulu.. Solat, reciting Quran and etc.. We create basic foundation on who we want our children be when they grow up..

In conclusion, I rasa not appropriate la kalo parents showing bad behavior to ur children. We are supposed to be a good example to them.. So when we do bad things, they will eventually be bad.. Tak la kata u leh wat menda jahat kat belakang diorg lak.. Allah Maha Melihat.. Jadi, senang cite, be good... Hehehe...

K lah, that's all 'ceramah' I utk kali nih... Hehehe... Till next time.. Bye...

Note out of topic : I'm sooo worried bout how my results will be.. Haish.. Hopefully I can pass all subjects with good grades.. Amin... Huhuhu

C++ For Leisure...??

Salam peeps..

I just fixed the post-comment-problem in my blog... Rasa-rasanya ok dah kot.. Ceh, cam ramai no la yg nak comment kat blog ai ni..Hihihi..

Ok,back to the title, C++ FOR LEISURE?? Apakah??

It's actually referring to a folder that I just created in my PC and Laptop and Hard Disc to store the C++ projects that I did during my leisure time. Yeah, you might say, macam poyo je buat C++ during leisure time.. Hihi.. Poyo pon poyo la, but I loike..
Oh ya, for those who might not know what is C++ that I'm talking about, it is actually a programming language. C++ is considered as middle-level programming language. Nak menerangkan dengan detail, I'm no expert, so, for more info on C++, click C++..

The purpose of doing it is to make sure that I won't lose the 'mojo' that I used to have in C++.. Wahh, mojo gitu.. Err, over kot to use 'mojo'. Actually a-little-knowledge in C++ that I gained during my tenure in Flextronics.. I learned a lot throughout my stay there, and I appreciate it, so, I don't wanna lose it. That's why, I will try as much as possible to do C++ projects to practice and refresh the knowledge..

And to be honest, Programming used to be my favorite subject during my undergrad study. Challenging, interesting and when finally I managed to execute without error and get the output, makes me feel so GOOD.. My final year project during undergrad pon got to do with programming, and InsyaAllah, my Master's project pon, I would love to do programming-related project jugak..Hehehe..

I used to know this one girl (err..macam kanak-kanak pula address her as 'girl' padahal dah jadi bini org dah.. ;p) who is sooooo good in programming. She is my ex-flex' colleague. I considered her as my mentor la in programming masa kerja dulu. Memang I tabik spring for her programming skills and knowledge. She's not only master in C++ but few other languages as well. And guess what, she had this folder "C++ For Leisure" in her office desktop.. Hah!! Apa lagi, to be good, you have to follow the best. Since she is my idol in this programming thing, so, I will follow her la..
My dear friend, Nurul Farihan, Farah mintak izin tiru ye..Farah nak jadi hebat macam Farihan juga in Programming... Heee... :)

As for now, there are 3 projects in my C++ For Leisure folder. 2 of it are my youngest bro's project. He's doing his degree now in Mechatronics Engineering at UIA...Hehe.. So I helped him out for his C++ subject. The other one is a MFC project to create a User Interface for our monthly budget.. Hahaha.. Tak ada keje kan? Since it was so tedious to keep track our monthly expenditures, so I dengan rajinnya has created a GUI so that we can key in our expenditures and calculate the savings. Actually leh je key in to excel, but saje la, nak utilize yang C++ knowledge.. Hahahaha...

InsyaAllah, more to come...

C++ MODE ACTIVATED... :)
