Three students from the Applied Technology High School (Girls) in the Emirate of Ajman have created a robot to identify and rescue people in harsh environments, whose lives are at risk, and to report the results without delay.
Student Shamma Al-Alili told Emirates Today that the main principle of the robot is to detect humans using a PIR sensor. The wireless robot is operated manually using a smartphone, wireless technology, and transmits data to the receiver through RF, and using the data received. -The robot can be operated and controlled.
“I worked with my colleague Buthaina Weshma to develop the robot, which is inexpensive and easy to operate and can travel alone in dangerous locations and find people in dangerous places, such as places of fire, mines and hostage cases, which are dangerous to rescuers. We are happy to develop this project, because we believe it will be beneficial to the community, and we hope this robot will be a better alternative for humans in certain jobs, and can also be used to alert the police in case of theft and security threats. ».
She explained that they tried to develop the robot to be low-cost and carry out large tasks, including traversing the rubble and overcome obstacles easily, while maintaining the strength of the signal at all times, pointing out that the robot consists of sensors (1.PIR), which are used to detect humans and animals Other objects use Fresnel lenses in sensors, increasing the detection range, as well as radio frequency transmitters and radio frequency receivers. RF receivers receive and de-modulate radio frequency signals.
She reported that they participated in innovation in science fair we think 2019, and were honored during the exhibition, after the innovation was impressed by the attendance and the jury.
