In 2014, 10-foot tall 3D holograms of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was contesting the Lok Sabha elections, sprouted in various corners of India to address the electorate. And now, in 2021, the India Makkal Munnetra Katchi (IMMK) party, founded by actor <keyword id="14509" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rajinikanth">Rajinikanth</keyword>’s associate <keyword id="5822304" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ra-Arjunamurthy">Ra Arjunamurthy</keyword>, has requested over 200 humanoid robots made by Chennai-based Doozy Robotics for campaigning purposes. The newly-formed party’s symbol is a robot, so fittingly enough, the Doozy robot was provided for the unveiling of the symbol and the election manifesto earlier this month. <div type="image" title="Ra Arjunamurthy&amp;#39;s India Makkal Munnetra Katchi party banner" msid="81605808" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ra Arjunamurthy&amp;#39;s India Makkal Munnetra Katchi party banner&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> However, this humanoid robot was built for purposes beyond the odd photo-op. Doozy Robotics was started in February 2019 by founder duo Suresh Chandrasekar and Ajmal Thahseen. That same year, they participated in the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF), where they were shortlisted as one of the top 500 promising startups out of the 54000 participating companies. From robots that can help transport heavy items in warehouses to robots that have been explicitly developed to sanitise an area using ultraviolet rays, the company has a bunch of offerings, but the most special of these are the humanoid robots named Doozy. Doozy is a 4-foot-tall robot with movable hands and legs and can also move its hips. It uses sensors to walk in a pre-defined location. The robot has an 8-10 hour battery backup, and it will walk straight to the charging station itself when it starts to realise it is ‘weak’. The robot can speak four languages — Tamil, Hindi, English and Chinese — and can answer your queries in these four languages. It can also identify humans it has interacted with earlier and call them by name. <div type="image" title="Robots made by Doozy Robotics" msid="81605822" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Robots made by Doozy Robotics &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Business Insider spoke to the founder and chief executive of Doozy Robotics, Suresh Chandrasekar, who tells us, “the robot was not created for political parties, our initial purpose was to create a robot for schools where the robot will be something like a teacher. Keeping up with changing trends where in the next 10 years robots will be everywhere, and people have to adapt to that and learn how to create and handle the robots.” He adds, “The student has to learn from today itself. So to generate curiosity among kids the robot will teach about robotics -- subjects like how to create a robot, what all can a robot do in industrial or home application and the future capabilities of robots.” This has already been tested in various government schools in Singapore, and promising negotiations are on between Doozy Robotics and the Government of Singapore for supplying these robot teachers. While a robot made in China would cost somewhere around ₹10,00,000, Doozy has priced the humanoid robot at around ₹8,00,000. Apart from that, Doozy can be used in the healthcare and retail industries to interact and provide information to patients or customers. Another supremely relevant robot made by Doozy is the DUV-A20, an advanced disinfecting robot used primarily in hospitals to sterilise an area completely using ultraviolet lights that eradicate any bacterial DNA in operation theatres and elsewhere. A ‘robot’ needs to do the job because the rays are harmful to humans. While it is not as prevalent in India, primarily due to the cost, it is quite common in European countries. However, given the current pandemic situation, this product is becoming increasingly pertinent in places other than just hospitals like schools, hotels, offices etc., and in India, too, these institutions seem ready to take the plunge for the sake of safety.

A 4-foot-tall humanoid robot called Doozy may just be the party symbol for Tamil Nadu’s IMMK, but it can do much more than that

New Delhi, May 24 (IANS) At a time when focus is on ensuring seamless remote working in the social distancing times, Indian developers have created some world-class apps for the iOS ecosystem that are significantly contributing towards home productivity. Take 'Enpass Password Manager' for example. Created by developers Vinod Kumar and Hemant Kumar, Enpass is an offline password manager that allows users to safely store passwords and documents. It works on Mac, iPhone, Watch and iPadOS. 'Calzy' is another app  a modern calculator for your everyday use. Developed by Chennai-based Raja Vijayaraman, whose VFX work was part of superstar Rajinikanth-starrer film 'Robot', the app developed on Swift helps perform day-to-day mathematical calculation in an elegant way. One of its novel features is "Memory Area" where one can store multiple numerical values and reuse it across multiple calculating sessions with a simple drag and drop interaction. For Vijayaraman, app development is now "a full-time profession" who credits "the app accelerator for bringing design thinking to his work". Vijayaram was one of the winners of Apple Design Awards at WWDC 2018. The "LookUp" app is an easy-to-use english dictionary app, with beautiful 'Word of the Day' illustrations, and an award winning design to lookup all you want to know about a word in a single search. "It's a great reading companion for avid readers, and a visual learning tool for kids, new English speakers, or just about anyone looking to proactively build their vocabulary" said Vidit Bhargava who developed the app. He is currently creating some developer tools, productivity and lifestyle apps under his recently formed company Squircle Apps. 'Noteshelf' is a digital note-taking app. Developed by Fluid Touch, a Hyderabad-based company, the app helps take handwritten notes just like on a piece of paper. "You can type, annotate PDFs and record audio. Apple's App Accelerator played a key role in helping us develop the app," said Fluid Touch CEO Rama Krishna. 'Canary Email; is another productivity app that aims to help users be more organised with emails and better manage all their files, events, and tasks in one place. 'Superimpose X' app turn your ideas into magnificent pieces of artwork. According to its developer Pankaj Goswami, the app is packed with a wide range of editing capabilities from multiple layers, blending modes, masking, adjustments, brushes, smudge, warp, effects, clarity to casting shadows. "Superimpose X is a modern tool for creating your photo contents," he said. --IANS na/
