Nepal's first humanoid service robot
All about Pari 1.0
People are often awed by the finishing of the product. They ask if it is imported from China or
elsewhere.
We thank them for the compliment and humbly reply that it is completely made in Nepal.
To be specific :
1. The body of the robot was designed, molded, fabricated, polished and painted in Nepal.
2. We did not make the touchscreens or the computers used inside it. However, we did program the
computers
and made all the softwares used in the robot from ground-up.
3. We also built softwares and hardwares for all motion/actuator control that is visible in the
robot.
Pari was completed in a time frame of 45 days by a team of a handful of engineers working day and night literally. More than 30 people were involved in the development of Pari which apart from engineers comprised of designers, painters, sculptors, voice actors, sound-video editors and more.
The robot is robustly built with features such as verbal interaction, detection of human presence in proximity and humanoid body structure. It greets people when they enter into the bank and asks to help them when it senses people in proximity. It can guide people to operate machines in the bank through a beautifully designed program running on its touch screen. The program to guide people is coupled with voice assistance. It has been fine tuned to make its operation efficient and the robot durable.
Pari is placed at inTouch branch of Nepal SBI at Durbarmarg, Kathmandu. You’re welcome by the bank to visit the bank, do some banking and see Pari. Selfie taking is also allowed and actually encouraged. And we request you to use #Pari or #PaailaTechnology in case you wanted to post it in social media.
Paaila Team is comprised of engineers who have a strong and long background in robotics.
They have participated in International Robotics competitions, ABU Robocon, several times
in a row and have won unprecedented awards and acknowledgement from the international
robotics community. That being said, it should only sound natural that the team is
passionate about robotics and should try to build world class robots of its own.
But it would not have been possible without the support of Nepal SBI bank whose
interest in robotics kindled hope for a good market in robotics in the country.
And because this robot was built in such a small time frame,
it is just the tip of the iceberg, or even less.
Future robots, we promise, will blow your minds away.
We are planning to build a robot capable of completely autonomous navigation, natural
human conversation embedded with business specific expert system.
If everything goes as planned, you should be able to see the next robot in eight
months. Of course, it is an ambitious target because of the fact that robotics
require a huge amount of investment, very talented and hardworking engineers and a
very welcoming market. And we do not pretend to have everything figured out,
but with a team that knows only of work and deadlines, not of excuses
and impossibilities, this target is the most probable outcome.
Our vision in three words - Make in Nepal.
It aims at producing world class robotics and industrial automation products that are
suited for Nepali industries. In doing that we will be promoting a value,
a sentiment that if we are prepared to work hard with a focused vision, everything
can be done in Nepal.
