DHS Future Engineers Team Embarks on Experimental Robotics Project


Hyderabad (Same Day): In a spirited attempt to push the boundaries of their technical knowledge, the DHS(Dawn High School) Future Engineers team has embarked on an experimental robotics initiative as part of their preparation for the upcoming World Robot Olympiad (WRO). Inspired by the relatively low participation in a specific WRO category last year, the team has chosen to enter the fray with an emphasis on learning and exploration rather than competition alone.

Over the past fortnight, the team has made steady progress. A base model of the robot has been constructed featuring a unique configuration—one motor powers the driving wheels while another handles the steering. In a departure from traditional LEGO-based systems, the team is integrating Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi to control the robot, marking a significant shift in their approach and a steep learning curve for the students involved.

Given the distributed nature of the team, members have been working from different locations. An experienced team member has developed a chassis that adheres strictly to competition regulations, while students at DHS have simultaneously built a similar prototype and conducted various motor control experiments using Arduino. Though the transition from LEGO to open-source hardware platforms presents challenges, it has also ignited enthusiasm among technically inclined students.

“Some students have shown remarkable dedication and are determined to master the system,” said a mentor, noting that while progress has been slow, the experience is proving invaluable.

Currently, the robot can be manually operated via remote control, as demonstrated in a shared video. The next milestone involves enabling autonomous navigation using sensor inputs to detect and follow the inner and outer walls of the test environment.

With this initiative, the DHS team is not only expanding their technical capabilities but also fostering a spirit of experimentation and resilience among young engineers—a step that may well set the stage for future successes.

Patients Forced to Buy Medicines, Carry Bottles at Unani Hospital Charminar: Lubna Sarwat Raise Alarm

Image
Hyderabad (Same Day): Patients visiting the Government Unani Hospital in Charminar are reportedly being compelled to purchase a majority of their prescribed medicines from private pharmacies, with activists claiming that over 60% of essential Unani medicines are unavailable at the facility. Adding to the woes, patients are also being asked to bring their own empty bottles to collect traditional halwa-based medicines—a practice described as both inconvenient and degrading by social activists and patient families. Dr. Lubna Sarwath, social and environmental activist and member of the Indian National Congress (INC), has formally raised the grievance with the Hyderabad District Collector on Wednesday, demanding immediate redressal. “This is a public hospital meant to serve the underprivileged. Patients should not have to bear the financial burden of purchasing medicines or bring containers to access prescribed formulations. It reflects a breakdown in basic public health services,” she sai...
