Chennai engineer mapping brain of home robot Print this article (Siliconindia.com) Monday, June 20, 2005
LAUSANNE: Chennai-born engineer Shrihari Vasudevan's claim to fame may not be a long walk when he completes the "brain mapping" of a "home companion" robot, a prestigious project of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, expected to be accomplished by 2008. "Yes, it will be a dream come true for me. I am giving it my best shot," says Vasudevan, who is pursuing doctorate in robot technology at the institute here, 80 kms from Geneva. After graduating from the Madras University, Vasudevan went to the U.S. to complete his masters in engineering before landing in this institute for his PhD. Vasudevan, who is in his late twenties, is working on the mapping of the "brain" for the home robot, the most essential part of the project. "Well, we are working as a team. It is not that I am doing the most essential part. Everyone's role is important," Vasudevan said in humility. The project named "Cogniniron" is a joint effort of a consortium of companies from Switzerland, France, Germany and the United Kingdom besides a German-based firm GPS, which will have the marketing rights. agencies *************************************************************************** Berdikusi dg Santun & Elegan, dg Semangat Persahabatan.
