This APOGEE brings a fresh batch of exhibitions that have the potential to excite audiences and give them the opportunity to experience the latest advancements in technology. These exhibitions seek to demonstrate the ‘Cybernetic Vision’ of the future.
Some of the exhibitions that you can expect this APOGEE are:
NAO Bot
The revolutionary NAO Bot developed by SoftBank Robotics is the epitome of consumer level robotics available today. As a programmable robot, it can be repurposed to perform a wide range of tasks. Since its creation in 2004, it has been constantly upgraded to incorporate the latest advancements in technology. The NAO Bot has become the standard in many programmable robot championships, like the RoboCup. It has also been used in the education industry as a teaching assistant, further demonstrating its versatility. This humanoid robot will surely enthral the audience with its capabilities and give them a glimpse of the technology of tomorrow.
BSF Tear Gas Unit
The Border Security Force’s indigenous Tear Gas Unit was established in 1976 to give the crowd control forces a method to curb riot violence. The TSU (Tear Smoke Unit) is trained to perform in high pressure situations, with citizens’ lives at stake. This exhibit will give the audience an opportunity to grasp the capability of our forces, and will demonstrate the latest advancements in military crowd control technology.
Mind-Controlled Drone
As drones gradually become a bigger part of our lives, their abilities grow exponentially. Today, we stand at the cusp of human-drone integration, with enormous scope for medical, scientific, and commercial applications. This exhibit will demonstrate a working mind controlled drone, giving us a peek into the future of our businesses and homes.
Mitra Robot
The Mitra Robot is a five-foot-tall humanoid robot indigenously produced by Invento Robotics, in Bengaluru. Designed primarily for use as an interface system, Mitra is already used by many cinemas and bank outlets. As the first of its kind ever produced in India, Mitra is pushing the envelope in Robotics Technology, showcasing India’s growing prowess in robotics science. The Mitra robot was also featured in the Global Entrepreneurship Summit where it greeted PM Modi and Ivanka Trump.
Team FS and BAJA
The exhibits of the Formula-Student and BAJA teams from BITS are expected to be crowd-pullers this APOGEE. By integrating their knowledge of the theoretical aspects of science with the practical, the FS and BaJa teams have built powerful racing and endurance vehicles respectively. The FS and BaJa exhibit is guaranteed to leave the BITSian junta beaming with pride, and will showcase BITS’s own engineering excellence.
