A student at the University of Basra was able to manufacture a humanoid robot
The student at the College of Engineering at the University of Basra, Mahmoud Kazem Hashem, was able to manufacture a human robot that is close to the human image in form and content and carries high specifications. It is part of the fourth-year graduation project in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Its manufacturing cost amounted to only $700, while commercial models in the market are priced at least $10,000.
The project supervisor, Dr. Israa Sabry Abdel Amir, explained that the student Mahmoud Kazem spent a period of four years of continuous work to develop a robot that has human characteristics such as interaction, speaking, discussion, memorizing faces, and other distinctive skills, and that this robot project is considered in the testing and study phase and within the framework of intelligence research. Artificial intelligence, especially understanding human-robot interaction and its service and entertainment applications in the future, as human robots have been a basic feature in science fiction films over the years, but they have now become a reality in the third millennium.
She added, “We are in the process of publishing the student’s first scientific research in an accredited American journal with a high impact factor, as it is being used as part of the Artificial Intelligence Passion Project. It can be applied in the fields of medicine, learning, and artificial intelligence research services. We are now working on developing the robot’s skills by adding a human emotion sensor and making it resemble.” The robot is also equipped with artificial pores and heat flow sensors for artificial sweating, and it becomes (a robot that simulates thermal functions). It is possible to develop it to make it able to walk, as walking is a difficult task for a robot, although we have conducted research that simulates the algorithm, but until now we have not created a complete robotic human. As it is still under development, it was designed to be standard and updatable.
