                                                                       Dimitris  Hatzis  from Greece  became,  at
                                                                       age  15, one  of the  youngest  people  to  build
                                                                       a functional, life size 3D printed robot. This robot
                                                                       is  life-size,  functional,  speaks  fluent  English  and
                                                                       features  impressive  mechanics  such as five
                                                                       degrees of freedom in each arm. While his project
                                                                       is  less about mass  deployment  and more  of a
                                                                       showcase of engineering, it’s a strong inspiration
                                                                       for  young  learners  that  robotics  is within reach
                         even for students. Hatzis’s work inspires students to explore robotics and realise that innovative
                         technologies like 3D printing can be accessible even at an early age. His achievement encourages
                         young minds to dream big and believe that the world of robotics is within their reach.

                         Prateek

                         Prateek, a 13-year-old from Chennai, Tamil
                         Nadu, has created an innovative robot called
                         “Raffi,” which  can detect  human emotions
                         and respond to questions. This impressive
                         achievement showcases his understanding
                         of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and
                         human-computer interaction. Raffi uses AI
                         to analyse facial expressions, tone of voice
                         and body language to gauge emotions,
                         offering responses that are sensitive to the
                         emotional context. By combining technology
                         with emotional intelligence, Raffi provides a
                         glimpse into the future of empathetic AI, with potential applications in mental health support,
                         customer service and companionship. Prateek’s creation highlights how young innovators can
                         push technological boundaries, paving the way for more compassionate, emotionally aware
                         machines in everyday life. His work is a significant step toward human-centric, AI-driven devices.
