WEEK 10 (FYP 1)

This week is to study about lawn mower for this project. What is lawn mower?

MOWER TYPES:

TRIMMER-TYPE MOWING SYSTEM

The trimmer-type mowing system presented in this work has a fixed edge and a moving edge. There are two advantages of using a trimmer-type mowing system.

If a cutter edge comes into contact with people, it can cause serious injury. In the event of the proposed arrangement, the fixed edge of the trimmer extends beyond the striking boundary. Hence, the fixed edge is the first to reach any object in the way of the system. This boundary is designed so that masses can be safe even after a collision. In addition, when the system is mowing close to an obstacle such as a wall, the trimmer does not damage the wall as a rotary cutter would. Further, the proposed trimmer does not call for a hood, unlike a circular cutting tool. Therefore, the cutting edge of the trimmer-type mowing system can reach right up to a wall. The proposed trimmer also has the advantage that it does not cause stones to be expelled as easily as in the instance of a rotary cutter.

Rotary mowers

Rotary lawn mowers have one very high speed rotating blade underneath. The blade ‘chops’ the grass on impact due to its very high speed. Most rotary mowers have the grass box behind with a few having an integral grass box. These mowers work best on a medium to high cut. A Rotary Mower is a mower in which the blade spins horizontally (east to west) and uses a sucking and tearing action to cut the blades of grass. Rotary mowers usually have one blade which rotates very fast. The rotary mower design is simple and adapts very well to small engines. Rotary mowers can cut a wide variety of grass conditions. Rotary mowers are usually powered by gas engines or electric engines.

WEEK 9 (FYP 1)

Activity: Do some research about multitasking wireless robot from journal gets
                from library portal ecitie to get into IEEE portal.

Objective: To get more information about the project from Journal.

Content: -Find journal in IEEE portal.
                 -Study the journal that already chooses.
                 -Complete my proposal report for chapter 1 and 2.

Result/Analysis: Student archived better understanding about the project.
                              How project operates and what component need to make a
                              prototype The previous work help very much to make improvement
                              the project.

Conclusion: This week already completed the introduction, the objective and
                       literature review.

This journal for my literature review

WEEK 8 (FYP1)

Activity: Student attend the third Final Year Project 1 briefing.


Objective: To know how to write methodology and result & discussion writing for
                   FYP 1 technical report.


Content: FYP coordinator DR Siti Marwangi was invited Dr. Imran Mohamad  Sofi
                 to give an explanation about how to write chapter 3 and discussion.


Result/Analysis: Student archived better understanding of the Final Year Project 1
                               technical report for chapter 3 and discussion.


Conclusion: Requirement for Final Year Project 1 technical report for chapter 3
                      and discussion according assessment and marking aspect already
                      clear by explanation from Dr. Imran.

WEEK 7 (FYP1)

Activity: Check title proposal is already been approved or not.


Objective: To make sure supervisor register title Final Year Project in
                   portal FYP BMI.


Content: -Supervisor register title 'Multitasking Wireless Robot' in portal FYP BMI.
               -The registration late because Dr Idris not in BMI in week 6 to approve title
                 for FYP.

Result/Analysis: Supervisor agreed with new title and the new title was
                               registered in FYP BMI.

Conclusion: Project title has been approved for the registration.

WEEK 6 (FYP1)

Activity: Student attend the second Final Year Project 1 briefing.


Objective: To know how to write introduction and literature review for FYP 1
                    technical report.


Content: FYP coordinator DR Siti Marwangi give an explanation about how to write
                chapter 1 and 2.


Result/Analysis: Student archived better understanding of the Final Year Project 1
                                technical report for chapter 1 and 2.


Conclusion: Requirement for Final Year Project 1 technical report for chapter 1
                       and 2 according assessment and marking aspect already clear by an
                       explanation from Dr Marwangi

WEEK 5 (FYP1)

Activity: Supervisor give suggestion to change the title because it have some issue.


Objective: To investigate the issue and to negotiate with the supervisor on switching
                  to a new title.


Content: -A contact has been made with the supervisor.
                -Supervisor inform to student about the issue faced at this stage of project.


Result/ Analysis: -The issue faced was it motor suitable for this project difficult to
                                get and expensive.
                              -To do prototype this project will become complicated.
                              -Supervisor suggested to find any new project title.


Conclusion: The new project is 'Wireless Multitasking Robot'

WEEK 4 (FYP1)

Activity: Student attend the first Final Year Project 1 briefing. The briefing was 
               conducted in TTL2 and the attendance for all  the student that are taking 
               the FYP 1 was compulsory.


Objective: To understand the flow of the FYP 1 project.


Content: FYP coordinator Dr. Siti Marwangi Binti Mohamad Maharum
                showed the student regarding the scopes and guide line of the
                final year project.

Result/Analysis: Student archived better understanding of the Final Year
                            Project outline and the assessment & marking aspects.


Conclusion: Further research has been made in accordance, to the assessment 
                      and mark aspects.
