i-Cub

Assalamualaikum, In the name Of Allah The most Beneficial, The most Merciful.

"iCub is a 1 metre high humanoid robot testbed for research into human cognition and artificial intelligence.It was designed by the RobotCub Consortium, of several European universities and is now supported by other projects such as ITALK. The robot is open-source, with the hardware design, software and documentation all released under the GPL license. The name is a partial acronym, cub standing for Cognitive Universal Body. Initial funding for the project was €8.5 million from Unit E5 – Cognitive Systems and Robotics – of the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme, and this ran for sixty five months from 1 September 2004 until 31 January 2010.

The motivation behind the strongly humanoid design is the embodied cognition hypothesis, that human-like manipulation plays a vital role in the development of human cognition. A baby learns many cognitive skills by interacting with its environment and other humans using its limbs and senses, and consequently its internal model of the world is largely determined by the form of the human body. The robot was designed to test this hypothesis by allowing cognitive learning scenarios to be acted out by an accurate reproduction of the perceptual system and articulation of a small child so that it could interact with the world in the same way that such a child does." - Wikipedia

The first Post

In the name of Allah The most Merciful The most Beneficial,

Assalamualaikum and Good morning.

This blog is created to shared about my final year project. Let me introduce myself first, My name is Nurazila bte Mohamad Amjis, everyone can call me mostly whatever they want, I don't really care, but I prefer Zila. I am a final year first degree student from University Malaysia Pahang which Located in Pekan, Pahang Malaysia. I am taking Bachelor Degree of Mechatronics Engineering. When this blog is created I did not yet decided the main title of my project and still have doubt on myself either I will pass with flying colours, black and white or just died trying.I would like this blog to be enjoyable and less stressful as I wrote my journey in here. I don't want this to also be a stressful reading materials for other people too. I don't usually talks to stranger to much unless I have to. My final project actually will consist i-cub, rolling elements and software. My sv is Dr. Ng Liang Shing. Any inquiries or idea or anything you would like to know about me can be mail to ziela.ma@gmail.com or twitter @zielaamjis (but in twitter usually my random babbling :P) . So thank you very much to finish reading this, it might be a turning point where i wrote good reading material instead of just babbling after this, your prayers and support is much needed. Thank you!
