Isaac Auval-Barde, a 17-year-old boy from Kano State, has invented a robot that works by remotely controlling a robotic exoskeleton. 17-year-old Isaac Auwal-Barde from Kano State, Nigeria, has invented a robot that works by remotely controlling a robotic exoskeleton.
It took two years to invent the robot, use local materials such as DC motors, copper wire, pipes, corrugated board, metal, etc., and power the robot with electricity. I want to be a robotics engineer who can build robots that can be used to solve national security problems. Poet Isaac Oval. 7 West African Examinations Commission (WAEC) Science Credits.
This young and talented teenager has been fond of robots since childhood. His love for creativity and innovation started a long time ago, and he has been creating creative gadgets since childhood.
He took two years for his current innovation. Unable to afford the materials to build the robot, Isaac began collecting local materials from the streets and mechanic shops. He used 100% local materials and waste to build the robot, which works with a remotely controlled exoskeleton, a system for controlling robots from people controlling them through demonstrations using their body parts.
Isah is not alone in his journey of innovation and creativity. His father was very supportive of him in his work. He is basically his son's motivator as he always motivates him not to give up and that one day he will become a robot engineer.
I encouraged him and told him that in the future he would be a robotics engineer. And if our electricity or electronics is damaged, he is the one who fixes it
Issa told reporters that his dream is to get a scholarship to continue his education abroad.
Now I want to get a scholarship to continue my education abroad and realize my dream of becoming a robotics engineer.
