Government school students develop AI-powered robot for paralyzed individuals
RAWALPINDI, Jul 06 (APP): The government school students have developed an artificial intelligence-based assistive robot named the “CM Maryam Nawaz Sahara Robot” to assist paralyzed and specially-abled individuals.
According to the details, the advanced assistive robot is engineered to decode eye movements, enabling patients facing speech or mobility constraints due to physical disabilities or paralysis to communicate their needs and desires.
Beyond communication support, the robot is capable of delivering medicines and food to patients according to healthcare providers’ instructions. This automated functionality is expected to reduce the workload of nursing staff in medical facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home care environments.
According to educational experts, this project underscores the capabilities of Pakistani youth in adopting modern scientific disciplines, including artificial intelligence and robotics.
The conceptualization, innovation, and implementation of the project were led under the guidance of Maryam Fatima, a prominent STEM expert from the Innovation and Robotics Lab. Under her supervision, the students developed the model to introduce technology-driven solutions into the healthcare sector.
Academics noted that the integration of artificial intelligence and robotics is expanding globally, and such localized innovations could pave the way for technological advancement while enhancing the quality of life for specially-abled individuals in Pakistan. They also admired Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat under the patronage of whom the innovation techniques and trends, like the robotics and AI are being introduced at early education level.
