Self-made rescue robots, rovers and drones lined the shelves at the ‘Bijoy Robochakra’ exhibition to celebrate Victory Day in a different dimension.
The Victorious Red and Green was flying high in the autumn sky. A robot soccer was found scoring a goal with its robotic legs. The rescue rover ran next to the mechanical vehicle on the steep road for rescue work. Cleaned the water dirt with newly developed river-cleaning hover robot vessel.
