| Description of Centre: | The Centre for Sustainable Mobility Technologies (CSMT) is set up to lead research and innovation in the field of automotive technology as well as Industry Revolution 4.0. The mission of the Centre is to deliver sustainable technological solution for the universities, government agencies and industries involved in the research, development, manufacturing and services. There are numerous challenges and impact factors faced by the industry, which requires multi-disciplinary research and collaborations especially in engineering simulation, additive manufacturing, automation and system integration to transform into Industry Revolution 4.0. Thus, Research Centre for Sustainable Mobility Technologies (CSMT) is proposed to implement the research strategy and forms alliances to tackle those challenges and industry impacts.
CSMT current research strategy will focus on topics as proposed by the available expertise and resources based on the current industry challenges and technological impact factors. This bottom up approach can spur the academics’ creativities as the researchers have free hand to exploit ideas and interests based on their professional know how. However, the centre will continuously be monitoring the industry activities to deliver the solution in line with the industry needs in the future. Other than that, the centre will maintain comprehensive understanding of the automobile industry from upstream to downstream value chain, such as material processing and equipment, assembly and equipment to knowledge management and information processing as well as the world wide R&D trends that have shifted to clean energy and renewable energy source. The other focus area of the CSMT is on the circular economy with aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources. Circular systems employ reuse, sharing, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling to create a closed system, minimizing the use of resource input and the creation of waste, pollution and emissions. |

| 1 | Toward Smart Factory on Ecosystem Balance with Haptic HMI and Human Factors Technologies for Industry 4.0 14th August 2020, Malaysia This webinar is aimed to provide industry exposure to the first-year student in UTAR. The talk is conducted through zoom and is attended by about 498 participants from UTAR. Mr Dieter Lim from VTC Solution Sdn Bhd shared a few topics on new industry trends including various technologies like CAE/CAD, VR/AR with Haptic, motion capture, robot & cobot HMI synchronization, industry exoskeleton and human ergonomic oriented manufacturing as well as electric vehicle. Students feel enthusiastic with talk and asking Mr Dieter to show more video on the electric vehicle and industry exoskeleton. |
