A Bangladeshi graduate student, Feroz Ahmed Siddiky is working on a humanoid robot, called the IRobo.
Feroz Ahmed is the student of the International Islamic University in Chittagong and has developed this robot from scrap materials that have been collected from electronic shops and car mechanics.
The IRobo is capable of responding to voice commands, picking up objects, mopping floors and performing other simple tasks. Siddiky shares, “On completion, this robot will comply with different verbal commands for tasks like shifting objects, cleaning floors and standing guard. It can also be used for some risky jobs like in coal mines, where workers commonly suffer many accidents.”
The Bangladeshi student is presently in discussions with an Australian software firm over the commercial production of the IRobo. He predicts that the IRobo will sell for less than $1,000 (approx. Rs. 40,000).
