The Nigerian can-do-it spirit has again been demonstrated by a 17-year-old boy in Kano State, Isah Auwal-Barde, who has invented a robot that works with robotic exoskeleton remote control.
It is germane to clarify that Exoskeleton remote control is a system of controlling a robot by the person operating it through demonstration with parts of his body.
In a chat with newsmen, the innovative Auwal-Barde said he grew up with passion of creativity.
The inventor stated that he graduated from Government Secondary School (GSS), Sabuwar-Kofa, Kano, in 2021, and obtained seven credits in science subjects in the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
Harping on the project, Auwal-Barde said, “it took me two years to invent the robot using local materials like DC motors, copper wires, pipes, corrugated cardboard as well as metal, among others, and the robot works with electricity.
“I want to be a robotics engineer, so that I can be producing robots that can be used in addressing security challenges bedeviling the country”.
The history maker stated that his father had contributed immensely in encouraging him towards ensuring the success of the project.
He said “I thank my father for encouraging me towards success of the project.
“Now, I want to get a scholarship to further my education abroad to fulfill my dream of becoming a robotics engineer”.
Remarkably, Auwal-Barde further revealed that his prowess in robotics engineering attracted a delegation from the National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (NCAIR), to visit him.
