The Morelab.org at the Brunei Energy Week

The morelab.org was selected as the representative of UBD at the Brunei Energy week from 23rd to 29th March 2014.
During the opening ceremony, we got the unique excellent opportunity to show the live demonstration of our Kangaroo-inspired heterogeneous robotic system to His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam, the Ministry of Energy, the Minister of Education, and many delegates.

Dr. Azman bin Ahmad (Deputy Vice Chancellor of UBD) explained the educational purposes of robotics to His Majesty.

Two papers accepted

Two papers accepted to present in December 2013 and January 2013.
- Hung will present the paper "Accelerating Multi-Target Tracking by a Swarm of Mobile Robots with Network Preservation" at the 5th International Conference on Soft-Computing and Pattern Recognition, Hanoi, Vietnam, December 2013.
- Trung will present the paper "A Kangaroo-inspired Robotic System: A System of Systems to Assist FireFighters" at the 19th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Beppu, Japan, January 2014.

UBD Convocation Exhibition - A live show for the Crown Prince

The MoreLab had an excellent opportunity to participate in the UBD Convocation Festival from 31. August to 12. September. We were selected to present our recent research project about Kangaroo-Inspired Robotic System for Emergency Responses, which works as the first responders to assist the fire-fighters to explore and search for victims in damaged and fired buildings.

In the opening ceremony, we got the great honour to give live-demonstration of the robotic system to the Crown Prince (Pro-Chancellor of UBD), Minister of Education, the VC, the DVCs and many delegates. We also received a lot attentions from the journalists and visitors during this day.

To achieve this show-case, all lab members had to work very hard for 10 days in the lab and in the field (the new library). Thank you all for your efforts. We are truly "the more than one" lab!

On this occasion, we would like to give special thanks to our friends and colleagues including the UBD Convocation Festival organizers and the Estate officers who assisted us during our show-case preparation. Without your contribution, we would not make it!
