Meet India's youngest robot maker who created his first robot at the age of 4

Saarang Sumesh, a child prodigy who hails from Kochi is the youngest robot maker in India.

 “At the age of three he developed inclination for electronic goods. He used to dismantle electronic devices at a young age and refit them quickly. We noticed his prowess when he was four,” said the mother Sreejaya, a former school teacher, adding he got his first lesson from his father VS Sumesh, an electronics engineer, currently working in the US.

Sarang and his mother returned to Kochi from the US when the boy was three years old to live with his old paternal grandparents.

Interesting facts about Saarang:

• He made his first robot at the age of 4 and his inventions are inspired by daily problems
  

• Inspired by the youngest robot maker, his school has developed a special innovation lab

List of robots created by Saarang Sumesh:

• A walking stick for the visually challenged

• Robotic hand

• Tricycle

• Lego calculator

• Digital clock

• Hand speed game

• A humanoid robot that can fire bullets

• LEGO NxT robot models

Saarang story to become a robot maker

Tired of seeing his mother struggle with a broom and mop every day in their house in Kochi, a little boy pestered his parents to get him some tools and instruments and made a robot to clean the floor.

Saarang innovations

Smart seat belt

His latest innovation is a smart car seat belt that automatically detaches in case of fire and accident which he developed in 2017. The innovation was sparked by a tragedy in Thrissur when a car in which a family was travelling suddenly caught fire. The head of the family who was at the wheels helped everyone escape but could not extricate himself from the burning car as his seat belt got jammed. Sarang got to work after the tragedy to come up with the smart seat belt.

“The smart seat belt can sense when the accident is happening and act accordingly. Collision will be detected by accelerometer. It can also sense fire or water and release the belt quickly,” he said. In case of a collision, the belt will not release immediately but will depend on the vibration of the vehicle ensuring safety of passengers.

List of achievements of the youngest robot maker marked upon his name:

In the science exhibition, TECH FOSS 2K16, held in Kochi, his booth was one of the most jam-packed ones, with people gathering to see the three robots he had kept on display 

At such an young age he has grace huge stages with his presence various tech fests, Maker Week End at Cusat, Techfoss at TocH, MakerFest at Ahmadabad (makerfest.com), LEGO league at Coimbatore 

Saarang has been the youngest attendee in the world to be present and exhibit his creations at the largest Maker Faire at Silicon Valley, USA (makerfaire.com) in the year 2016,

He was He was the youngest speaker in TEDX in the year 2016

Sarang is running against time delivering lectures and giving demonstrations in the country and abroad. He has just returned from Ahmedabad science fest and is getting ready for his second Maker Faire appearance in San Francisco. Rated as the youngster Tedex (thinkers, doers and idea generators’ conclave) speaker of the country he also spoke at Fab 12 Conference in Shenzhen in China last year.

AKASH MANOJ

              AKASH MANOJ

              (Indian inventor)

Akash Manoj (born 21 December 2001) is an indian cardiology researcher inventor from  Tamilnadu .

"He is known for his award-winning research on "silent" heart attacks"

Main reason to invent

Akash lost his grandfather due to a silent heart attack when he was thirteen. Silent heart attacks strike at-risk patients who are affected by nerve damage. Unlike most teenagers, inspired by the intricacies of the problem, Manoj translated his emotions into social motivation and, eventually, into action.

At the end of three years of research and experiments funded by the Government of India at various labs across India, including SRISTI-BIRAC, he developed a novel technique that can non-invasively detect and alert at-risk patients of a potential asymptomatic heart-attack. His method involves transcutaneously isolating, identifying, spectroscopically analyzing, and sensing elevation in the levels of a cardiac biomarker called heart-type fatty acid binding protein (h-FABP) in realtime – a process that significantly establishes a path to preventative cardiovascular healthcare. 

How does the device work?

A small silicon patch is stuck on the back of the ear or wrist which monitors if there has been a silent heart attack instead of going through tests like echo cardiograms.

Akash was invited to Tokyo University of Science, Japan for presenting his project at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His project got endorsed and clinically approved by their experts.

Personal life:

His parents, businessman Manoj Prabhakar and housewife Somi, while also studying advanced cardiology and other fields of medicine. He is an avid speaker, reader and tennis player and also enjoys exploring the field of aeronautics.

Awards:

National Child Award for exceptional achievement” – Gold medal conferred upon by President of India, Ram Nath Kovind in November 2017.

• Received honours for the “best innovation” from former President Pranab Mukherjee in March 2017.

  

  Conferred with IRIS Grand Award by Intel India in association with Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India and Indo-US science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) in November 2017.

  Chosen to represent the Indian Republic at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in May 2018 at Pittsburgh, United States. “Business Model Award” by Society of Open Innovation, Technology, Market and Compexity (SoITMC), South Korea and Daegu University, South Korea.

Inspiring 15 year old Angad Daryani Builds Eye-pad – Virtual Brailer For the Blind

Angad Daryani has been called a number of things: child prodigy, little genius, the inspiring teenager, but he can best be described by one word—Maker. He quit school in 9th grade to teach himself the art of science and was home schooled by teachers who focus on hands on learning.

Angad has always been passionate about building things, from improvising already existing software to making custom hardware. This one-man-army built at the age of 13 Rep Raps  and supplies to prestigious institutions like the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, where he is also currently doing research on Desktop Prototyping with Tree Labs.

His passion for building things led to the invention of Virtual Brailler, a device that converts digital text from Roman to braille in real time to give tactile braille feedback to the tracked finger of a visually challenged person. This low cost ebook reader for the blind is a revolutionary product that could make books accessible to millions of people who currently depend on time-consuming methods like getting braille books printed or unintuitive methods like text-to-speech.

This project was developed in collaboration with other engineers and designers at the DIY Workshop, Hyderabad, and the team plans to take it forward, so that they could help blind people know the joy of paperless reading through open source.

15 year-old Angad’s love for aquatic animals led him to name his DIY Kits company, Shark Kits, whose open source kits are available for Indian enthusiasts at reasonable prices.

AKRIT JASWALA

                                  AKRIT JASWALA

                                                (Young surgeon)

Akrit Jaswal World's Youngest Surgical Doctor

Akrit Jaswal was born in India on April 23, 1993. Akrit Jaswal was born as an indigo child, so it is not surprising that he has intelligence above average. IQ Akrit Jaswal at the age of 13 is said to be 146 who have been at the level of super genius.

Akrit’s Jaswal First Surgery

In a nearby village, a toddler burned her hand and the burns were so severe that her fingers curled up and the skin on her fingers melted together. Due to her family’s poverty, she was never operated on and for years, the little girl’s hand was of no use.

By now, Akrit Jaswal had already earned a reputation in his village for being the medical genius and at the age of eight, her family sought out Akrit Jaswal to operate on their daughter. So they traveled over to Jaswal’s village for help.

After signing a waiver, Jaswal agreed to do the surgery free of charge. In the following weeks, his parents ordered surgical knives, camera equipment, and anesthesia for the occasion. On November 19, 2000, Jaswal performed his first surgery and separated the girl’s fingers for the first time after an hour-long operation.

When he was seven, hospitals in Nurpur would let him observe various surgeries. These privileges are usually granted to graduate students. However, the doctors at the local hospitals were excited to see a young boy passionate about studying medicine. Word spread quickly through the region about the child prodigy. People of all ages from toddlers to the elderly sought Jaswal’s advice, diagnosis and treatment on their ailments.

Akrit Jaswal’s Education

Although there is not much clarity on Jaswal’s early schooling but since his successful surgery, Oprah Winfrey and a number of medical societies have interviewed Akrit Jaswal after which he also became the youngest medical student in an Indian University.

He was twelve-year s-old

While he was in school, Indian officials tested his IQ.  They found out that Jaswal’s 146 IQ ranked higher than any other twelve-year old boy in India. Three years later, he graduated with a science degree from Chandigarh College.

Then, at seventeen, Jaswal began his master’s degree in Chemistry. Currently, he is studying Bioengineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur. Now, Jaswal is twenty-three years old and his passion and focus have not moved an inch. Through the years, he has become even more focused on his goals. He continues to work hard in school and continues his research to find a cure for cancer.

Akrit Jaswal’s Parent’s Support

When Jaswal was five-years old and expressed interest in studying medicine, his parents did everything they could to provide their son with the resources he needed to learn more about medicine. Growing up, Jaswal’s father brought his son many biology books. The books covered a variety of topics from anesthesia and surgical procedures to anatomy and physiology. Akrit Jaswal studied each book intently and his father described his son’s studying ability as “a photographic memory”.

Jaswal has a big heart and is truly a genius!

Ajit doval life story

                                JAMES BOND OF INDIA

                                                Ajit Doval 

                                                           (National Security Advisor)

Ajit Doval is the fifth National Security Advisor of India and a retired IPS Officer who was previously the head of Intelligence Bureau. His actions speak of his greatness and how they translate too the level that he is revered as a Master Strategist and Intelligence Officer who had served in Pakistan as an undercover agent for a well over 7 years !.

Ajit Doval with PM Modi Bodyguards : Special Protection Group

He had an active role in curbing terrorism and insurgency in various states of India like Punjab and Mizoram. He had been part of the negotiations in well over 15 Hijackings of Indian Airlines over a period spanning 28 years.He also headed the Operations Wing of Intelligence Bureau for over a decade and also founded Joint Task Force Intelligence and Multi Agency Centre.

He also played a key role during Operation Black Thunder when he went inside Golden Temple as an undercover ISI agent to gather vital intel and updates and also to demoralize the Sikh Militants and make them surrender.

He also infiltrated the top leadership of Mizo National Front which was then waging an armed aggression against India. He won over half the dozen of its top commanders breaking the backbone of the organisation and making them sue for peace. During these periods he lived undercover in Myanmar and China. Later he played a cornerstone role in merging the state of Sikkim to the Union of India.

Ajit Doval back in 1968

Perhaps his biggest success was changing the doctrine of Kashmir and Pakistan policy from going from defensive to aggressive what is termed as the Double Squeeze Strategy. He won over militants in Kashmir in 1990s , making them counter-insurgents in Army push toward curbing militancy and terrorism in the valley.

He master-minded the top priority Surgical Strikes in PoK and Myanmar towards curbing insurgency and terrorism. As a NSA , he helped secure 46 Indian Nurses after they were kidnapped by ISIS. He contacted the Iraqi Government discreetly and set many things into move which made ISIS , to set free the nurses. Another cornerstone of his NSA Career was his way to handle the Doklam Standoff. His way of his handling made even the Chinese media to mention him the prime schemer behind Doklam Standoff.

The Tact-Fullness of Doval has got a unique chance to meet the Iron Hand of present government , which aim to curb internal security issues which looms large upon India as a whole. Doval has advocated for strict and stern measures against Anti-National elements which has translated into Action in both Kashmir and the Red Corridor of India.

Doval has been actively utilizing the present atmosphere to his conducive means to further the national interest. His advocation is of stern measures to take on national interest plans, rather than taking on appeasement means as we saw in previous regimes. His measures have translated into action, which has been oft touted as excessively agressive. The veteran spymaster possesses much experience in handling insurgency and terrorism in hostile areas and presents a comprehensive approach towards this plan which is made clear by his one statement : “You may do one Mumbai; You may lose one Baluchistan”. His approach to engage the enemy at three levels and to use money and power to turn the waves for terrorism against the perpeators itself has yielded much results in the Indian case.

He has also advocated for certain strong covert capabilities to further the national interest issues which should go above individual morality issues in larger interest. This makes Doval much ahead of his predecessors who advocated peace and appeasement calls instead of strict use of Armed Forces to break the backbone of adversaries who are trying to bleed India by a thousand cuts using terrorism and militancy as an aid.

His measures have translated into action on ground, as Indian Forces in Kashmir and Red Corridor are breaking new grounds curbing terrorism and armed militancy issues effectively. This has been important because internal security has always been a downside for India, as Doval rightly says, "You cannot have a great powerful country if you cannot manage its internal security. It is only the policemen who can fight this battle and win it. Train yourself to become powerful intellectually, emotionally and spiritually, as strong as you possibly can."

All these facts make him a truly great strategist, as well as a well deserving man to be the National Security Advisor of the nation whose experience in handling terrorism and insurgency is handy to address the current issues which loom large over India especially in the context of Pakistan and China. For his achievements as an IPS Officer, he was also awarded the Kirti Chakra, which was actually a military decoration. An outstanding officer as well as a tactical one who performed various on field operations to curb terrorism by building up a strong intelligence background, often risking his life in the process surely deserves our applause and respect.

The veteran Spymaster can be seen here using an ordinary mobile set. This makes him well aware of the fact of how International Intelligence Agencies have been tapping into Mobile and Computer Devices to further their agenda.

 “Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again."
