DR ELANGO WINS BEST PAPER AWARD AT INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ROBOTICS AND MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION (IEEE ROMA 2018)

Winning the Best Paper Award at the 2018 IEEE 4^th Symposium on Robotics and Manufacturing Automation (IEEE-ROMA 2018), was truly a memorable moment for Assistant Professor Dr Elango Natarajan, Head of Research from the Faculty of Engineering, Technology and Built Environment.    

The awards presentation was held at Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Engineering College, Perambalur, TN, India with around 110 participants.

Dr Elango’s paper was entitled “Design and Development of A Robot Gripper For Food Industries Using Coanda Effect”. The Coanda principle uses the pressure changes locally present inside the gripper to handle soft objects such as meat, vegetables, paper or fabric. It is a new idea applied in robotics for handling these fragile and soft objects.

DR GAILANI SELECTED AS BEST PRESENTER AT INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

UCSI’s Faculty of Engineering, Technology and Built Environment lecturer Dr Mohammed Al-Gailani won the best presenter award in the 2^nd International Symposium on Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences 2018.

His paper was entitled “Saving Energy Cost By Combining Air-Conditioning and Air-Circulation Using CFD to Achieve Thermal Comfort In The Building.” The paper had practical significance in that it illustrated the method in which to retain our ‘comfort zones’ in terms of temperature while paying less for electricity.

DR KHAN AWARDED IEEE RAS MALAYSIA CHAPTER AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
