Student-Built AURA Robot Combines Greetings With Emergency Rescue Skills
A group of engineering students built a robot called AURA.
They completed it in only two days with help from their teachers.
AURA can greet important guests at college events.
It can also help during emergencies and rescue work.
People can control it using a mobile phone.
The robot has a Wi-Fi-enabled fire extinguisher system.
Electrical engineering students built and assembled its hardware.
A computer science faculty member helped with the software connection.
The project was praised as a useful and affordable way to solve real-world problems.
Third-year EEE students at Sri Sivani College of Engineering designed the multi-utility robot AURA with faculty guidance.
AURA, short for Advance Utility Rescue Assistant, was conceptualised, built and completed in two days.
The robot includes a Wi-Fi-enabled, mobile-controlled fire extinguisher system for emergencies and rescue operations.
AURA is designed to greet college management members, chief guests and dignitaries during campus events.
The project combined EEE hardware work with CSE software expertise and involved three student designers.
