Research Works on Development of the Robotic Arms Adaptive Learning Control for

the Automotive Industry

In automotive industries, intelligent robot is widely used to obtain the utmost precision assembly

operations. Intelligent robot is capable of performing most of the functions and task that are being carried

out by human beings. It is equipped with a variety of sensors with visual (computer vision) and tactile

(touching) capabilities. Much like humans, the robot observes and evaluates the immediate environment

and its proximity to other objects, especially machinery, by perception, and pattern accordingly. Because

of its operation is very complex, powerful computers are required to control this type of robot.

With the intelligent robots in mind, this research will explore the possibility of incorporating

various types of sensors in designing and developing robot devices in the automotive assembly line

manufacturing to ensure the accuracy and precision is achieved. The problem with the current robotic

application in the automotive assembly line, the concept of intelligent robots (use of advanced type of

sensors) is infrequently used. However to substantiate further on the preciseness of task by robots, an

algorithm will be developed coupled with software methods as an adaptive learning control in the real

robotics application.

RESEARCH

BEUREAU RESEARCH CONSULTANCY (BRC) PROJECT (2001-2002): As Head of

Project [Completed 2003]

BRC Grant: RM20,000.00 [Ref. No: 10273]

1. Development of Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) Model for Furniture

Industry. The research involved building and testing FMS modeling for the furniture

industry. Questionnaires were developed to gauge the understanding and the

implementation of FMS by other industries particularly automotive assembly plant,

electrical and electronics manufacturing industry, car components manufacturing plant,

plastic manufacturing industry and furniture manufacturing industry. An FMS model was

developed using Delmia QUEST software simulation which is used to validate the new

proposed FMS set-up and form a basis for measuring the time, productivity, quality and

cost attributes. The physical model developed shows the possible flexibility of the

equipment and the speed to change from one product variant to another. The simulation

result has proven that furniture company could increase their productivity by 100 per cent

if they were to adopt the FMS layout to their plant.

INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION (IRDC)

PROJECT (2004-2005): As Head of Project [Completed 2006]

1. Development and Improvement of the Car Seat Polyurethane Injection Moulding

Process. IRDC Grant approved: RM43,970.00 [Ref. No: 10532]. The present methods

and techniques of injecting the polyurethane (p/u) for car seat are still done manually.

Therefore; cost is not minimized, inconsistent product quality, inconsistent production

efficiency and productivity, difficulty in meeting customer’s demands, market variance,

reliable and on time delivery. A research study will be carried out at the car seat p/u

injection moulding plant. The objective of the research study will be to evaluate the

existing methods and techniques of injecting and moulding the p/u for the production of


9

car seat. A new process and technology for higher productivity will be developed to

attain consistent product quality through layout and line automation improvements as

well as robotic applications. Delmia QUEST software will be used for the simulation of

the new improved process and technology and to determine the cost effectiveness of the

overall project.

INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION (IRDC)

PROJECT (2005-2006): As Head of Project [Completed August 2007]

1. Development of Pick-And-Place Robotics Chucking System. IRDC Grant approved:

RM20,000.00 [Ref. No: 110000050076].

This research study focus on the developing the new chucking concept of pick and place robot at

any machine in manufacturing production process at the identified premise. The scope of the

research is the overall process improvement of the pick and place in the production line. In this

research, work-study method will be adopted as a means of developing the new technology of the

pick and place machine that will be made of stainless steel material. The work study method will

encapsulate the overall method improvement and technology development.

MOSTI E-SCIENCE PROJECT (2007 - 2009):

1. A New Computerized and Automated Grading System for Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) in

Palm Oil Mill [Project No: 05-01-01-SF0118]: Head of Project [Completed 8 December

2010]

EScience Grant Approved: RM 236,000.00

Oil extraction rate in the palm oil mill is a critical contributing factor to the mill revenue. Higher

oil extraction rate with less amount of Fresh Fruit Bunch processed is what palm oil millers

aimed to achieve. The oil content in riped palm oil fruits is higher than that of unriped palm oil

fruits. Since the main contributing factor to the maximization of oil extraction rate on the palm oil

fruits is on the degree of ripeness of palm oil fruits, a proper grading system should be developed

to assist the palm oil millers. The normal practice in grading FFB at palm oil mill is done by mill

operators through visual inspection and this is extremely tedious and time consuming which is

prone to errors and inconsistencies in grading results. Thus, modifying and redesigning the

manual grading process to become an automated grading system by introducing a Vision System

which uses CCD camera to capture the image of the fruits to recognize the degree of ripeness of

FFB would help to increase the oil extraction rate, quality and productivity of palm oil

production. This study will also look into computerizing the current manual grading form that is

being practiced by the mill.

2. Anatomically-Corrected-Testbed (ACT) for Anthropomorphic Multifingered Robotics

Hand [Project No: 02-01-01-SF0142]: Head of Project [Completed 29 December 2010]


With the growth of interest towards humanoid robots, anthropomorphism of robotic hands becomes

a necessary design goal that has been purposely addressed by most research projects such as Utah

Hand (Jacobsen, Iversen, Knutti, Johnson and Biggers 1986), UB Hand (Bonivento, Melchiorri


10

and Vassura 1992) and Barrett Hand (Townsend 2000). An anthropomorphic placement allows to

easily transferring grasp strategies from a human hand to the robot hand but the different sizes of

each finger and their asymmetric placement makes the construction more expensive and the control

system more complicated. Even though there is so many efforts devoted to designing and building

of anthropomorphic robotic hands but many of it is not anatomical. It could not mimic all materials

and structure of a human hand because human cells are replaced every day to deal with wear and

state of upper-limb prosthesis technology. Upper-limb prosthesis is either hook or hand-shaped and

are actuated by body or external power. The problem is the current devices are lack of degree of

freedom (DOF), heavy and did not have any aesthetic value. This project will focus on improving

the existing prosthetic hand and creating a variable choice of application for the amputation people

depending on their preference.

3. A Novel Corrosion Resistant Cast Iron with Optimized Mechanical and Physical

Characterization [Project No: 03-01-01-SF0117]: Project Member [Completed August

2010]


Casting is made from metal which is melted, poured into the mould, cooled and solidified.

Cast iron is a ferrous alloy which contains carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus and

sulphur. Cast iron was chosen in many applications because it represents an interesting

class of engineering material due to its structural performance and attractive price.

Recently, there are many cast iron products that suffer from wear due to corrosive

environment. Corrosion deteriorates the intrinsic properties of a material due to

environmental reactions. The surface coating of cast iron proves to enhance corrosion

resistant but surface treatment requires time, labor, equipment, and material handling and

all of these have associated cost. Many chemicals that were once commonly used, such as

cyanide, cadmium, chromium, and chlorinated solvents, have now come under strict

government regulation. This research project is aimed to develop a new corrosive resistant

cast iron. This new developed cast iron can be used as cast product without going through

any surface coating processes. Hence, from this project a greater corrosive resistant

material with equal and/or superior physical, mechanical and morphological properties of

cast iron will be discovered.
