Small wonder: A group of robotic developers have created this robot, which they claim is mostly based on indigenous technology. |
Desi dude
Its makers claim the robot is majorly based on desi technology, which will soon be patented. "The robot can be programmed to do an array of household chores. We have devised a few indigenous technologies that help the robot navigate in unknown environments without any problem. It can even recharge its lithium battery automatically," said Pulkit Gaur, the leading member of a young team of technologists that is working for the last couple of years on robotic products.
Making it
The ideation of the product was done almost two years ago and it took six months for the team to develop a prototype. Now they are looking for retailers. "Initially, people were sceptical but now they have started realising that robotics is the technology of the future. Appliances available in the market are no doubt good and work as per our needs but the biggest drawback in them is that they lack intelligence and modularity. They become obsolete very soon because they do not change according to consumer demands. But robotics keeps changing every day. " said Pulkit. A reason why he says he has kept its price affordable.
