Modi`s the `Made in India` robot |
India`s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ivanka Trump, daughter and advisor to President Donald Trump, launched Mitra — a `Made in India` robot that interacts, assists and learns on the move. To the beats of `dhol` playing in the background, Mitra, which has been developed by a Bangalore-based startup, gingerly navigated towards where PM Modi and Trump were seated. The eight edition of Global Entrepreneurship Summit was formally inaugurated when the two pressed their palms against the flags of India and America on Mitra`s screen. Ivento Robotics, which developed Mitra, has been founded by Balaji Vishwanathan, who recently became the most followed person on Quora. The one-year-old company hopes to see the robot deployed at banks, hotels and corporates. Ivento Robotics plans to sell and, also, rent Mitra based on customer specifications. Canara Bank, one of the company`s first clients, will soon be doing a pan-India launch at its. Mitra would use facial recognition technology to identify customers and can also recognise several languages. Mitra is fully manufactured and assembled in Bengaluru. Its body is made of fibreglass and is equipped with a touchscreen. On a single charge, Mitra can last up to 8-10 hours.
