ITU Robotics Expo on 17th

LAHORE

The 5th Robotics Expo of Information Technology University (ITU) is scheduled to be held at Arfa Software Technology Park here on December 17 (Saturday). 

The expo will display 14 robot prototypes, addressing locally relevant problems of Pakistan. These have been successfully designed and built by the undergraduate third-semester students of ITU. The students have built some very interesting robots, including Rekhta, an ultimate Urdu word predictor and transliterator that works in Roman and Noori Nastaleeq; Windope, a window cleaning robot designed and built to save the lives of window cleaners who work in adverse environments to clean windows in high-rise buildings; Mawazin, a medical product that ensures safety against over-dose of anesthesia medicine and administers drugs at a controlled rate; Machine-e-Meharbani, a vending machine that takes plastic bottles as credit and in return provides food to homeless people; The Eye-Writer, a robot designed for paralysed people to help them to do various tasks such as writing or controlling switch buttons by simple movements of their eyes and Taabat-ul-Miyah, a robot that autonomously controls your residential water motor based on water pressure from the main supply.
