PE1 KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL BASE
PE1.1 Comprehensive, theory-
based understanding of the
underpinning natural and
physical sciences and the
engineering fundamentals
applicable to the engineering
discipline
I attempted to develop a new type
of the robotic arm that can be
applicable in the agriculture
industry.
I designed the system to meet the
requirements of providing real-
time data on hazardous
environment monitoring
parameters and remote controlled.
I suggested the entire team
for the delivery of a project
that could allow the control
of the home appliances
using the TV remote as it is
widely available.

of the mathematics, numerical
analysis, statistics and computer
and information sciences which
I identified that the cost of the
robotic arm is very high as it needs
to be designed specifically as per

specifications and hence, there is
the need of a MPA robot that is
nothing but a multipurpose
agricultural robot.
We used eZ430-RF2500 as the
wireless development tool for the
CC2500 circuit including
hardware and software those were
required for the development of
this system.
I controlled and used the
RMS voltage adjustments
for controlling the speed or
intensity of the load and
controlled them using the
triac circuitry through
manipulating the firing
angle.

PE1.3 In-depth understanding of
specialist bodies of knowledge
within the engineering discipline
I also analysed that the
development of MPA robot
through the serial manipulator can
be very difficult because of the
harmful vibration of high levels
and large payloads.
I designed the system to meet the
requirements of providing real-
time data on hazardous
environment monitoring

PE1.4 Discernment of knowledge
development and research
directions within the engineering
discipline
I was responsible for supervising
the entire project growth with an
assurance that the entire project
objectives can met through
everyone’s contribution in the
project.
I used the “DC/DC buck
converters offer over 95%
efficiency over a wide battery
voltage range, even with input
voltage down to 1.8 volts
extending battery life.
I managed to divide the
project into eight major
components including
power supply, RD232
driver, IR receiver circuit,
zero crossing detector,
intensity regulation in
relation to the main voltage
variation, IR decoder, Triac
firing pulse generation and
TRIAC.

agricultural arm through
combining the serial and parallel
mechanism.
I was the one who has to lead the
team and thus, topic selection was
one of my concern and so, I
suggested to target the industry
related safety and control.
I kept the project simple
and related every activity
with other for the
management and delivery
of the project objectives.

PE1.6 Understanding of the scope,
principles, norms, accountabilities
and bounds of contemporary
engineering practice in the
specific discipline
I also embedded a hybrid
manipulator, end-effector and
robot controller.
I divided the project in two sectors
System Architecture and design of
the Virtual Instrumentation
Software and assigned different
individuals with different sectors.
I programmed and managed the
microcontrollers, IR receiver, and
circuit of the entire system.
