Intelligent Companion & Service Robot (ICSiBot): A Robotic Research Platform
Our team at ICSI Research Group have years of experiences in mobile robot development as well as the algorithms on mobile robot such as sensing and actuators, motors and drivers, path planning and navigation algorithms, device-to-device (D2D) such as multi-robot communication, mechanical structural integrity and analysis and recent works on wireless positioning system using only WiFi in an indoor environment.
Intelligent Companion and Service roBOT (ICSiBOT) is our latest mobile robot developed by members and students of ICSI Research Group. The robot is categorized as service robot, which main goal is to serve and assist human needs. ICSiBOT is currently used as a research platform on the following research topics:
- Intelligent path planning and navigation using LIDAR sensor.
- Virtual robot face with voice recognition and emotions.
- Human detection using overhead mounted omni-directional camera.
- Data collection agent for WiFi signal fingerprinting database.
- Data collection agent for WiFi spatio-temporal data.
The research using ICSiBOT can be further explores for instance as informative mobile robot application in service industries such as hospitality, healthcare, transportation station and hubs, shopping malls and many others. Other research interests such as next-gen positioning and navigation algorithms, informative and aesthetic virtual robot face design, controller and hardware evolution, control system strategies and other. Literally everything!

Floating Beacon: A Real-Time Water Quality & River Flow Monitoring System.
This final year project was developed by Akashah. The device is the third generation and the first generation was designed in 2019. The floating beacon is targeted to provide a real-time device location while measuring the river water quality for the agriculture sector from Timah Tasoh dam to the paddy field and etc.
Congratulations!! All The Best

EduGimbal: An Educational Purpose Gimbal System
Currently, Muhammad Amien is doing his MSc study sponsored by FRGS for this project. The gimbal system was designed from scratch. One of the system's general applications is to stabilising a system such as a drone and a camera. Next, a sliding mode control system algorithm will be implemented to the system to ensure the system's robustness against disturbances and uncertainties while maintaining the output accuracy.
