Isah Barde, a 17 years old secondary school graduate in kano State, has Built a 'Robot' from scraps, using cartons, pipes, led, motor, aluminium, among others, as components.
Isah intends to study robotics and become an
artificial intelligence expert, despite the
financial barrier that stand in his way.
It has been three years since the teenage boy
started invented the robot, which he
described as a part of his life aspirations,
inspite of limited support.
He control the robot by moving his hand.
" This robot is made of motor, cardboards,
led, copper wires, aluminium, pipes, tyres and
wood," isah told Trust TV.
" There are things I got from people and one
market called Jakara where you can buy
things like a hair dryer that has been
destroyed and use its motors," he added.
Isah's father, Auwal Barde, is proud of a
budding ' robotic engineer' in the family but
lack of the financial wherewithal to help Isah
live out his lofty dream.
"I don't have the means to support him but I
will be happy if he has the support elsewhere
either from the government or from
individuals.
I'm a poultry farmer," he said.
It was learnt that Isah started showing
interest in engineering at 8 and he has since
been steadfast on honing his skills.
"I always support him when he is about to
give up so that he will be something one day.
In the future, we don't know what he might
create that will help our country at large,"
Muhammad Isah's brother disclosed.
