International Award Winner Robot Bangla Manob

In February 2004, I developed a digital display board named “E vision” and Arif (other one of robot Bangla manob developer) developed some voice programs and both took participate in Stamford university IT fair. This was our 1st participation in IT competition. In fair we followed that our developed project was poor. We decided to develop a joint project called “online voice controller”. Hardware was developed by me and Arif developed voice software. That’s took a day from us and it was the first day of that fair. 2nd day was judgment day and after judgment we achieve 3rd prize in that fair. But one of our teachers visited fair and gave us information about NSU 5th soft fair that will be held on 25 March, 2004. The Stamford fair is over and we are waiting for the next. We didn’t decide before 20 days ago of NSU fair what we will be developed. Our UAP teacher Mr. Muniruzzaman’s advised us to develop a robot though he didn’t like human type robot. But it was a big question for us it will happen or not? We try harder to achieve our goals. At last a day before we have done it. I remember the day still and our teacher Mr. Muniruzzaman’s voice “Redwan I want to see your robot is walking. Try faster to walk your robot. Arif show me your software, is robot speaks or not?” thank you sir for your inspiration. In 25 March 2004 we ware in NSU fair but unfortunately our robot burned. Our friend left us and the day was very pathetic for us. Before that we ware working on sensor project for two years but our teachers changed our dimension on robotic project.

The day 27th march 2004, in Hotel Sheraton where we awarded for developing Robot Bangla Manob. The NSU 5th Soft fair, 2004 was for 3 days. The 1st day in Fair our Robot was burned due to electricity problem. So before the 2nd day I worked for new robot whole night. In morning it was completed. The 2nd day in fair our computer local area network was not working and this day was our judgment day. So we try harder to solve this problem. We solved it timely and our judges’ ware pleased for our work. But at that time we didn’t know that we are going to achieve an award. The 2nd day was passed. In 3rd day many people ware gathering in front of our stall, just they want to talk with our robot “Bangla Manob”. I always remember that day. After that Bangla Manob went to Pakistan and got 2nd international Prize.
