Greater Noida: This time in the Smart India Hackathon 2025, Team Ourobnics has presented a new and unique solution, which is considered very useful for many areas like MSME sector, healthcare and industrial safety. The team has developed an indigenous and low-cost humanoid robot, which can interact with humans and can also perform different types of tasks.
Team Ourobnics member Bakshish Singh said that this project is being led by Naveen Kumar, who is participating in this national competition on behalf of Galgotias University. The team is working towards making India technologically self-reliant through open-source technology, drones and robotics. This robot is not just a machine, but a platform that can be prepared for different tasks as per the need.
Can be used at these places
Team leader Naveen Kumar said that the use of this humanoid robot is not limited to shops or offices only. It can also be used in places where it is dangerous for humans to work, such as chemical factories, toxic environments or sites with extreme heat. Apart from this, he can also work as a receptionist in hospitals, assistant in library and helping customers in retail stores.
80 percent cheaper than robots
This robot created by Ourobnix is equipped with AI vision, emotion AI and the ability to speak in multiple languages. It can recognize the person in front, understand his questions and show him the right direction by giving the right answers. The team says that modular hardware and Raspberry Pi based system has been used in the robot, due to which its cost remains between Rs 5 to 7 lakh. It is 70 to 80 percent cheaper than foreign humanoid robots.
Boon for MSME sector
The problem of shortage of employees and frequent change of staff is common in the MSME sector of India. This robot can welcome customers, answer their questions and provide 24-hour service. This will reduce the workload on employees and they will be able to concentrate on important and creative work.
How much will business grow in 5 years
The team says that this technology can be used in retail as well as hotels, hospitals, schools-colleges and government service centers. There is a possibility of installing about 9,500 robots in the coming five years and reaching a market worth Rs 570 to 665 crore.
Designed as per Indian needs
The team has designed this robot completely according to Indian needs. It can work with less training, respond even without internet and communicate in multiple languages. The team believes that in the coming time, this technology will be rapidly adopted in many sectors of India. Along with Naveen Kumar, Bakshish Singh, Shams Parvez, Anuj Pateria and Shreya Singh are involved in this project.
