Outreach
As scientists, my team and I strive to increase scientific knowledge and understanding in the general community. Therefore, our outreach programmes bring forwards our research findings and projects to all Malaysians in several places with a special mission to bring the excitement of learning science and technology. In addition to robot / software demonstrations in our lab, we also get involve directly to the community at their places
