Humanoid Service Robots, first time in Jaipur!

June 18, 2019June 18, 2019 AdminLeave a comment

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.

Jaipur Celebrates Eid-Ul-Fitr!

June 5, 2019June 6, 2019 Admin1 Comment

The moon has already been sighted and the auspicious occasion of Eid that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan is right here. The festivity of Eid-Ul-Fitr in Jaipur is in full swing, and we can smell it in the air. Jaipur is prepped up for Eid with clean houses and already shopped accessories. Eid-Ul-Fitr, also known as ‘Meethi Eid’ is celebrated all around the world by the Muslim community.

The festival of Eid is celebrated with enthusiasm and devotion all around Jaipur, but the celebration inside the walled city… ka andaaz, hai kuch khas…especially of Ramganj.

Ramganj is remarkably crowded during the days around Eid. It becomes a flea market during Ramadan. They are decorated like a bride, where shopkeepers entertain the enthusiast shoppers from dusk till dawn. The streets thronged with rozedaars (people who observe fasting) and the shoppers are welcomed right after Iftar and are served till Sehri (Shoor) specially prepared delicacies. The markets are full of hustle bustle throughout the nights as if Jaipur has shifted to a nocturnal schedule for a month. An experience you wouldn’t get anywhere else.

Chaand Raat– Chaand Raat or ‘Night of Moon’ confirms that the holy month of fasting has ended. On the supposed last day of Ramadan, people right after iftar get on their roofs/terraces eagerly trying to spot the crescent moon in the deep sky. Sighting of the moon confirms Eid the next day.

The following day celebrations kick starts as the day of Eid-Ul-Fitr when all the Muslims are decked up in special Eid look adorned in best of their dresses and start their day with Eid namaz. Kids receive Eidi. These are gifts given to younger members of a family by their elders, in cash and kinds.

Eid ki Namaz
Jaipur’s Jama Masjid and Eid-Gah along with all other masjids in the pink city host the special namaz. Eid namaz is a mandate on every member of the community – man or woman. Since time immemorial, Eid-Gah hosts the Namaz and other masjids, but very few Jaipurites are aware of the fact that every year Eid, namaz is also done at Ram Niwas Bagh at a small scale, where women have also been attending the prayer for many years now. At Eid Gah where thousands of people pray together is a sight to behold.

Eid celebration in Jaipur is an experience that counts. Eid Mubarak to all from Jaipur Beat!

First Cafe In North India To Be Served By A Robot!

June 1, 2019June 1, 2019 AdminLeave a comment

If you are bored of going to the same mainstream restaurant where you give your order and the waiter serves you (which is the story of the most restaurants) then you have got to know about this new place in the Pink City. We have just explored something unique happening that will surely interest you and your friends and at the same time will amuse your taste buds.

It’s true!
The Yellow House Global Bistro has a Robot named Ruby. Located in the basement of Silver Square Mall, near Raj Mandir Cinema, we visited the place on the opening day of the restaurant and to our surprise, the robot was walking all over the place. Ruby the robot is made in India by the students of Arya College, Jaipur using Japanese concept.

The robot is the first bot in Northern India serving food at this restaurant in Jaipur. The technology of magnetic strips has been used for the path of the robot to walk through the restaurant, with motion sensors. If anyone would come in between the pathway of the robot, it would seek you to leave its way and let it pass by saying “excuse me”, which was something engaging and worth the experience.

One will definitely take some time before finally picking up the menu card at first glance as the robot will astonish you. The Yellow House serves pure vegetarian food, the menu consists of Italian to South Asian and Indian main course as well.

The ambience of The Yellow House with Victorian furniture and traditional Rajasthani decor is a fusion of two diverse combinations, with another level supplemented by the robot. The restaurant gives you a comfy environment and also they are pet-friendly which means you can take your little friend along with you for a memorable meal.

It’s definitely a happy place to spend a mellow night with your family & friends.

For your chance to experience the newness, drop down to the Yellow House Cafe, Silver Square Mall, Next to Raj Mandir Cinema, Panch Batti, Jaipur, Rajasthan, 302001
