A student entrepreneur from the Kochi Startup Village has won accolades for developing a unique robot, 'Xerobot', at a national-level competition organised by Brahmos Aerospace Private Limited.
Jijo Paul, founder of Startup Village-incubated Resnova Technologies, walked away with the 'Best student Award for Innovative Idea in Science & Technology' at the Science & Tech Quest 2014 competition, held at the all-India level.
'Xerobot' can be taught to replicate a particular activity by employing process automation. Paul received the award from former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam at a function in New Delhi. Paul informed the robot was undergoing further modification for application in industry with commercial potential. Xerobot can be taught to perform any activity within its degrees of freedom using a controller arm and could then be embedded on to a standalone system.
The currently developed model of the robotic palm has the potential to replicate the motions of human fingers.
Paul started this project during his second year B Tech course at Amal Jyothi Engineering College, Kanjirapally. It is undergoing further development at the innovation club at Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology, where he is pursuing his M Tech.
