SRKR Students Create a Fire-Fighting Robot in 18K
Final year Mechanical Engineering students have created a fire-fighting robot in under 18K. The robot was created as part of their final year project. The fire-fighting robot uses radio frequency to take orders which can be done via a Mobile Phone.
As part of the final academic project that the students at the SRKR Engineering College have to partake in, Six students had come together to work upon a fire-fighting robot. G Kavya, K Bargav Verma, G Ashok, I H Nivas, K S V Mahesh, TS Tarun Reddy are the six students, pursuing their final year in Mechanical Engineering, who are responsible for creating the fire-fighting robot. The Robot had been showcased to the Head of Mechanical department, Dr K Brahma Raju.
Dr K Brahma Raju had congratulated the students for achieving this task and for creating an innovative and useful solution. He further added that the students had achieved the feat with meagre funds of just ₹18,000. He also stated that this was the first fire-fighting robot to have been created in such a low amount.

Dr K Brahma Raju stated that during the presentation of the projects that were made by the students of mechanical engineering, the robot had functioned the way it was directed by remote control. The Remote control, he further added, was the students mobile phone. He stated that since the fire-fighting robot worked via a radio frequency signal, therefore, such robotic devices for fire-fighting can be used sitting from anywhere in the world.
