A team of graduates from the Faculty of Engineering at Mansoura University has achieved a significant milestone by developing and manufacturing a robot with 80% local components. This initiative aims to promote local manufacturing and reduce dependence on imported parts in the robotics industry. The project demonstrates the capabilities of Egyptian youth in applying their knowledge and expertise to create innovative products that serve the industry.
According to Dr. Sharif El-Badawi, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Mansoura University, the achievement was made possible by the efforts of Egyptian youth from state universities. He emphasized that the team worked hard to apply the knowledge and experiences gained during their studies to convert them into practical products that serve the industry. The project also highlights the importance of increasing local components to reduce the time and cost associated with importing spare parts.
The team aims to increase the local manufacturing percentage to 90% in the coming year by locally manufacturing the main part of the robot, the engine. This will not only reduce reliance on imports but also facilitate maintenance and improve production efficiency. The project is a testament to the university's focus on graduating students who can innovate, manufacture, and lead entrepreneurship, rather than just securing jobs.
The Faculty of Engineering at Mansoura University has signed a cooperation protocol with the company "Raid Bot" to enhance the connection between education, industry, and scientific research. This partnership allows students to acquire practical and applied experiences during their undergraduate studies and contributes to product development and future local manufacturing.
The program "From Maspero" presented by Egyptian media professionals, including Rami Radwan, Ahmed Samir, and Jomana Maher, under the supervision of Mahmoud El-Temimi, highlights the importance of such innovative projects. The program showcases various aspects of Egyptian life, including scientific achievements, social issues, and cultural events.
The development of the robot with local components is a significant step towards promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in Egypt. It demonstrates the potential of Egyptian engineers to create innovative products that can compete globally. The project also underscores the importance of collaboration between academia and industry to drive technological advancements and economic growth.
The Egyptian Radio and Television Union, through its various programs, continues to cover and highlight significant scientific and technological achievements in Egypt. The development of the locally made robot is a notable example of the innovative spirit and capabilities of Egyptian engineers and researchers.
