The students of Glisten International Academy, Abuja has invented an indigenous front line mobile robot christened Mairabot.
The robot, according to the students while presenting it to the management of the National Information Technology Development Agency, said it is designed to perform essential medical duties such as acting as an interface between the doctor and patient as well as delivering of drugs to a patient.
The Executive Director of the Academy, Mr Abba Abdullahi Saida who led the team to the Agency revealed that one of the motivations that led to the design of the robot is to reduce the rate at which medical personnel are contracting COVID-19 while discharging their duties.
He said, “This robot is created to reduce the number of physical contact between the medical personnel and the affected patients and this will in return reduce drastically the number of medical personnel that will be affected in the process of carrying out the duties.”
The Executive Director noted that innovative measures were put in place to checkmate the development process of the project to ensure it meets the International standard and also improves its performance level to cover other aspects of human life.
In his remarks, the NITDA Director-General, Mallam Kashifu Abdullahi, commended the academy for coming up with such innovations.
