Alhamdulillah 🧑🏻‍🎓

Alhamdullilah, Delighted to share, after three years of dedication and hard work, I successfully defended my PhD thesis from Universiti Sains Malaysia (One of the top public universities in Gelugor, Malaysia. It is ranked #=137 in QS World University Rankings 2024), a milestone that represents not just the culmination of the academic pursuit but a gateway to new beginnings in the field of robotics and computer vision.

The essence of my thesis revolves around enhancing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) for autonomous robots in dynamic environments. This work, spanning several years, was driven by a passion to solve real-world problems through innovation and resilience. It’s a journey of continuous learning, unlearning, and relearning—underpinned by the belief that the pursuit of knowledge is endless.

Proposed research led to several publications that already been published and under review in the high ranking journals. I believe that will contribute meaningful advancements to the field of robotics:

1. MVS-SLAM: Our exploration into enhanced multiview geometry for semantic RGBD SLAM, aimed at improving robot navigation in dynamic settings (Journal of Field Robotics, Wiley).DOI https://lnkd.in/eyiy-J-p [Q1, WoS, SCOPUS, JCR]

2. ARD-SLAM: A testament to our commitment to accuracy and robustness in dynamic SLAM through innovative object identification and geometrical approaches (Displays, Elsevier). DOI https://lnkd.in/dyMMbavj [Q2, WoS, SCOPUS, JCR]

3. FADM-SLAM: Our approach to fast and accurate dynamic motion SLAM, enhancing autonomous robot exploration amidst movable objects (Robotic Intelligence and Automation). DOI https://lnkd.in/duYcffmq [Q2, SCOPUS]

Additionally, two of our articles published in  conferences, including the integration of YoloV8 for dynamic SLAM and Review of SLAM, underscores our ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in robotic navigation and mapping.

As I share this, I am reminded of the countless hours of research, experimentation, and sometimes, the inevitable setbacks. Yet, it’s these challenges that make the journey worthwhile. They teach us resilience, humility, and the joy of discovery.

I am deeply grateful for the support of my family, supervisors, mentors, peers, and the academic community. As I look to the future, I am excited about continuing to explore, innovate, and contribute to our understanding of the world through the lens of robotics and computer vision.

🤲🏻

As I take a moment to reflect on my journey, both personal and professional, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude. Alhamdulillah, I had the privilege of offering prayers at Al Masjid an Nabawi, a moment that has deeply touched my soul. This experience, so profound and moving, has reminded me of the beauty of simplicity in our complex lives.
I have navigated the realms of discovery and knowledge, always in pursuit of truth and understanding. Yet, standing in such a sacred place, I am reminded that the essence of wisdom often lies in humility, in the quiet moments of reflection and in the sincere prayers whispered from the heart.
This moment is a powerful reminder that no matter how far we may travel in our quest for knowledge, it is our faith, our sincerity, and our humility that truly guide us towards enlightenment. To all my students and colleagues, I share this message: let us always strive to blend our scientific pursuits with spiritual depth, for it is this balance that enables us to achieve true greatness.
As we continue on our paths, may we never lose sight of the importance of reflection, the value of prayer, and the strength found in the community. Let’s carry these lessons forward in our work, our studies, and our interactions with each other.

May this message find you in a moment of peace, and may it inspire you to seek knowledge with a humble heart and a steadfast spirit. 爐

Library of Masjid Al Haram 📚

Alhamdulillah, After performing Fajr Namaz at the heart of our faith, Masjid Ul Haram, I had the profound privilege of visiting the Library of Al Masjid Al Haram. To walk through these sacred halls and to immerse myself in the ocean of knowledge preserved here was nothing short of a spiritual awakening. 🕌✨

This library, a treasure trove of Islamic heritage, holds within its walls centuries of learning and wisdom. From rare manuscripts to invaluable texts, each book tells a story of our rich history and the unwavering faith of our ancestors. It’s a reminder of the light of knowledge that Islam has always been a beacon for.

As I turned each page, I felt more connected to my roots, to the scholars of the past, and to the Almighty who has blessed us with the light of understanding. This visit wasn’t just about seeing the books; it was about feeling the presence of centuries of devout Muslims who have walked this path of seeking knowledge before me. It’s a journey every Muslim should aspire to make, a journey within, towards enlightenment and closeness to Allah.

I am beyond blessed to have had this opportunity and I pray everyone gets a chance to experience this profound connection. Let’s remember to seek knowledge, to open our hearts to the wisdom of the past, and to always strive towards being better Muslims.

May Allah bless us all with His infinite wisdom and guide us on the path of righteousness. 🌹

Umrah 🕋

🕋 Alhamdulillah, words cannot express the profound gratitude and immense blessings I experienced during my recent journey to perform Umrah at Masjid al-Haram, the sacred House of Allah and the holiest site in Islam.

The moment I set foot in the magnificent precincts of the Kaaba, my heart swelled with humility and awe. The sight of the Kaaba, draped in its majestic black cloth, radiated a divine tranquility that enveloped my soul, reminding me of the unity and submission to Allah that binds us all as believers.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with my fellow pilgrims, from all corners of the globe, I felt a sense of unity and brotherhood that transcends race, nationality, and language. Each tawaf around the Kaaba was a profound act of devotion, a physical manifestation of our spiritual journey towards closeness to our Creator.

As I performed Sa’i between the hills of Safa and Marwa, retracing the footsteps of Hajar (may Allah be pleased with her), I reflected on her unwavering trust in Allah’s mercy and provision. Her story serves as a timeless reminder of the power of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity.

Every prayer offered in Masjid al-Haram was a moment of connection and intimacy with Allah, as if the barriers between this world and the Hereafter momentarily dissolved, and I was enveloped in His divine presence.

Leaving the sacred precincts of the Haram was undoubtedly one of the most difficult moments of my life. But as I bid farewell to the Kaaba, I carried with me a renewed sense of purpose, faith, and gratitude.

May Allah accept our Umrah, forgive our sins, and grant us the opportunity to return to His sacred House again and again. Ameen. 🕋 #Umrah #MasjidAlHaram #Kaaba #BlessedJourney #Gratitude #Unity #Faith #Submission #sacredpilgrimage
