This week marked the final week of university classes — an emotional yet fulfilling milestone in our academic journey. In our last session with Sir Roshan, we had a detailed feedback discussion on our reports. He was genuinely impressed with mine and commended the depth and clarity of the content. He also provided us with valuable viva presentation tips, outlining what should be included in our slides, how to structure our presentation, and how to manage time effectively during the session. We also received our official viva schedules, which made everything feel all the more real!
Project Progress
On the iCue front, I dedicated the entire week to finalizing my report, presentation, and blog for submission. Everything is now polished and ready, Alhamdulillah, the project has gone exactly as planned and was successfully completed on time. It’s been a journey of growth, learning, and resilience, and I couldn’t be more proud of how far it has come.
Here are the final product snapshots and pictures.
🏆 Competition Victory: A Perfect Ending
This week was also incredibly special and celebratory for another reason. My team and I were thrilled to win First Place and Best Poster Award in the Recycling Manipulator Robot category of the Third Edition of Emirates Robotics Competition! Out of 100+ teams, we advanced to the finals among 26 teams, and then emerged as champions.
I had the honour of leading this wonderful team while balancing my final-year project deadlines. A heartfelt thank you to my teammates — Shamshul, Habeeba, Nimrah, and Maheen — for their tireless efforts and unstoppable spirit. Of course, none of this would have been possible without Dr. Judhi’s incredible support and mentorship throughout the journey.
This win truly feels like the perfect finale to our Bachelor’s degree — a moment of pride and gratitude that I will always carry with me.
Reflection
This week was emotional, celebratory, and deeply fulfilling. From completing my final project to winning a major competition, every late night and tough challenge felt worth it. Seeing iCue come to life and end on such a high note gives me confidence as I take the next step in my journey.
Alhamdulillah for the success. I’m immensely grateful for everyone who supported me along the way. Special gratitude to Dr. Judhi Prasetyo for everything over the years. Thank you, Sir!!
