Meet Ajit 1.0, the humanoid robot at KLE Technological University

Hubballi: A humanoid robot is drawing all eyes at the KLE Technological University campus in Hubballi. He greets guests with a ‘namaste’ and offers all of the information you wish to have concerning the campus.
Ajit 1.zero has been advanced through the final year students of automation and robotics division of the university.

Mahesh Hosmane, Mallikarjun Patil, Swapnil Mankame and Darshan Nalwal have built industrial robots prior to now, but Ajit 1.zero is the primary humanoid robot they built. University resources stated the dept of automation and robotics was established in 2009 and its students had been enthusiastic about creating robots for different applications. Ajit 1.zero plays basic gestures like Namaste and handshake as a response for voice input. It can use each fingers to do useful, repetitive motions. It has autonomous navigation with obstacle avoidance and textual content and speech interaction. Work is being accomplished so as to add learning talents along with co-ordination of hand motions with vision.

Faculty coordinator Arun C Giriyapur told TOI that during 2017 the dept took the humanoid robot challenge and started creating the primary prototype. It was named Ajit 1.zero.


Ajit means the person who never loses. “Research in humanoid robotics has been on the upward thrust in the fresh years, each because of the anticipated relevance of humanoid robots for private and assistive robotics, and because of basic medical questions they carry on the subject of biped locomotion and full-body physical interaction with the surroundings. Indeed, biped robots want with the intention to move robustly and efficiently in human environments, which come with the facility to stay steadiness when unpredictable physical touch with humans happens. At the similar time, these robots need to be capable of rich and protected social and physical interaction with humans, and to conform to the habits and personal tastes of each explicit consumer. Regardless of the applying area, one of the most commonplace problems tackled in humanoid robotics is the figuring out of human-like information processing and the underlying mechanisms of the human brain in coping with the true international,” he stated.


Giriyapur stated that Ajit 1.zero can simply navigate in the environment on wheels. “The next version Ajit 2.zero may have legs for locomotion and will have to be capable of walk. The design of Ajit has been stored so simple as possible so that it may be simply replicated sooner or later. Extensive use of 3-d printing technology and open-source software and easily available hardware platforms have been used for the purpose,” he added.


Hosmane stated that Ajit is sort of a three or four-year-old child. “He is learning basic items. The next version may have extra advanced options like synthetic intelligence to assist humans in day-to-day tasks,” he stated. Patil stated that hands shall be fastened to the robot so that it might hang things in its fingers. “It cost Rs 8 lakh to construct the robot,” he added.
