A 16yr-Old Student Invents A Nanny Robot!!!

A 16-year-old student at the Pusat PERMAT Apintar, Negara Centre for gifted and talented students in Malaysia, Inderjit Kaur can boast of accomplishments other than just academic success.

She has also led a team in several successful robotics competitions, including winning the gold medal in the International Symposium on Robotics and Intelligent Sensors 2012.

Her team’s Nanny Robot was designed to monitor a baby’s status using sound and temperature sensors, which would activate functions such as rocking the baby in a swing, or contacting parents based on the child’s cries.

Kaur hopes to eventually pursue a degree in neuroscience from an American university and to continue experimenting with the creation of humanoid robotics.
