Wearable Robotic Legs around a very good idea. To help the disable people three students from the leading university of Pakistan, Usman Institute of Technology in Karachi recently prepared a  model for wearable robotic legs.

These are designed to support disabled persons and help them to move and function on their own again.

Moutasim Abbasi,  Adil Hanif and Muhammad Usman are the three intelligent and innovative students who developed the design.

Moutasim said,

“We have developed this exoskeleton model for paraplegic to assist them in the functions of sitting, standing and walking,”

The boys worked hard for four month at Pakistan Auto Parts Show that was held at the Expo Center in Karachi. The boys tried to complete the robotic legs task and they were mentored by Associate Professor Engineer Raza Jafri.

A total of Rs. 150,000/- only was the total expense that came in constructing the model.

According to the reports if the battery of the robotic legs is fully charged it can work up to 30 – 45 minutes.

Charged battery runs for 30 to 45 minutes.

Adil mentioned, “This wearable exoskeleton will help paraplegic get rid of wheelchairs and crutches.”

He further added, “Six motors attached to the system will function as an alternative for major joints such as hips, knees, and ankles for positioning the upper body, thighs, shank, and ankle.”

A person  weighing 85 kilograms can use these legs. If machine is customized further than the weight limit can exceed.

Moutasim also said,

“We are planning to commercialize this prototype at a very reasonable cost for the paraplegic that would be a fraction of the price of similar projects in Japan and Berkeley.”

Such projects will not only help disabled people but also will contribute to a well developed country.

Pakistani students are really making Pakistan feel proud. People surprised when technology news in robotic fields are coming from Pakistan. If you remember, few days ago a NUST Student developed a robot for a restaurant in Multan. This news got viral last month.

As predicted by researchers that soon robots are going to take place of man, the revolution is in its way. Recently Pizza.com, a very popular pizza corner of Multan has announced a robot waiter. You know what is the best part? The best part is that it is not imported from other country but is developed in Pakistan.

For this the credit goes to Syed Usama Aziz. He studied and graduated from NUST. He developed this robot for his father’s business. Actually his father is the owner of Pizza.com. The lad has a passion for robots and technology.

Usama was an electrical engineering student from 201-2015 at NUST. He wanted to go to abroad for higher studies. He wanted to learn more about robots. His father advised and motivated him not to leave Pakistan. He encouraged him to stay in his motherland and serve the country and prove himself too.

He was convinced by his parents and didn’t leave Pakistan. To achieve his goals by staying in Pakistan he has worked hard. He wanted to introduce a robot as a serving machine.

At first he planned to import the parts from foreign countries but the prices were too high and would have caused him worth million rupees. He didn’t give up his plans and decided to begin from the very start. He developed all parts in Pakistan.

He invested a sum of 4 lack Rupees and total 8 months of hard work and hardship and was successful to create the first ever robotic waiter in Pakistan.

Usama wants to test the robot in Multan branch of Pizza.com and if you want to look at it, we are sharing a video featuring the robot at its best:

The robot is designed such that it takes orders, serves the foods, greets the guests and can also detect obstacles in its path.

Though it is an amazing effort but the robot waiter is not that sensitive to changes and has very less artificial intelligence but we must mention that the robot is at testing stage for now.

Usama plans to improve his robot and make it more efficient. He also plans to introduce such robots in Hyderabad too.
