Jaipur is renowned for its cultural heritage, magnificent architecture all over the world and the list can go on and on. Many successful startups have sprung out of Jaipur. And yet another venture of Pink City has proved the talent which the city entails. Jaipur’s own company Club First introduced their Humanoid Service Robots Sona .5 and Sona 1.5 on June 16, 2019. The company proudly claims that they are the first to introduce such Robots in India, which does not follow a magnetic-path to reach its destination, and what makes you feel even better is that it is completely manufactured and designed in India itself. The unique feature of both the robots consists of its design, algorithms and it having a human-like spine, which is also first in the world (developed by Neelima Mishra CEO, Club First).
Bhuvnesh Mishra, Managing Director says that their journey started in 2013 and from that day there was no turning back. But this journey had its own ups and downs; the biggest challenge was to develop a navigation technology which will facilitate the robot in mapping the location like humans do, in order to reach their destination.
Sona .5 and Sona 1.5 though quite similar are different from each other in terms of some minor features like heights and weights. It works in the range of 60 meters and has 2 GB RAM and 8 GB of storage capacity which can be utilized as a mapping storage. The robot use wireless technology and auto-charges itself. It has various types of sensors like vision, ultrasonic, touch, laser and heat helps it adapt to its surroundings, the robots are completely harmless and developed as per the Conformity of European Standards.
Club First didn’t want to introduce a product that will force the industry to modify their ambiance according to the machine instead they wanted a machine that will adapt to work in any environment. Furthermore, they want that the technological market should not be owned by the foreign developers rather Indians should take initiative and work towards development of the country. Indigenous manufacturing not only adds to the development of the country but also makes replacement feasible. Club First assures you replacement of any parts of the robot. They wish to initiate the introduction of their robots with restaurants as it will provide a better interaction opportunity with the customer, in future they wish to extend their venture for army purpose, disaster management, hospitals as well as offices.
Jaipur Beat appreciates Club First’s initiative and hope they will inspire others to work towards innovative ideas for a brighter future and be welcoming to the change that will come with the new innovative technology.
