In June 2021, the people were astonished seeing Spot - Boston Dynamics’ robot dog dancing with K-pop sensation BTS. Way back in 2008, the first zero-emission car, Tesla, created by entrepreneur Elon Musk, shook the transportation industry.
With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0), more industries are integrating automation and intelligent systems to increase optimisation and production efficiency.
Technically, the integration is challenging as it requires the involvement of components such as advanced computing systems, electrical and electronics devices, sensors and actuators, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), as well as the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
THE rapid rise in the use of emerging technologies to manage and adapt to the current pandemic for operational efficiency, customer interaction and business sustainability has been simply phenomenal.
An ecosystem of technologies that facilitates interaction and allows for veritable engagement with customers and clients in a seemingly real or physical way is Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
When combined as a hybrid mix of physical reality and digital content, we get Mixed Reality (MR) whereby the user can interact with and among the real world together with digital objects.
The next quantum leap in this ecosystem is Extended Reality (XR) which revolutionises spatial computing.

We would like to welcome these newly elected members as well as all the new volunteers who have been elected throughout the international network.
The Institution would like to take the opportunity to especially thank all the international volunteers who have stood down this year. Their contribution has made a significant difference to raise the profile of the Institution as well as support the international membership to grow. The work of the volunteers is an essential part of the Institution, without which we would not be achieving the successes we have seen over the last few years, especially in the international arena.
